The object of the Retiree Council is to 1) maintain the fraternal ties of union members during retirement years, 2) provide retired members with an opportunity for social and recreational activity, 3) enlist the support of retired members in promoting progressive programs, 4) enlist the support of retired members for political objectives, and 5) bring the special problems of retired members to the attention of LiUNA, its Local Unions, and District Councils.
