2015年养老金40：Randi Weingarten

作为160万会员美国教师联合会的总裁，兰迪卫六58，是最多的福利养老金的最大声乐支持者之一，断言，在其他积极之外，他们刺激了经济发展。她注意到，为养老金福利支付的每一美元都会产生2.25美元。自2011年以来，AFT与其他工会和克林顿全球倡议合作，投资美国基础设施。11月初，AFT推出了广告活动吹响了公共养老金计划投资 - 通过联盟Laguardia Gateway Partners，包括加州州立教师的退休系统 - 在纽约拉古里亚机场的36亿美元大修。“When the economy rebounds, more people should be able to take part in the American dream,” says Weingarten, who majored in labor relations at Cornell University and graduated from Yeshiva University’s Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law before working as a labor attorney and a high school history teacher in New York. “Part of this means getting good returns, fixing our crumbling roads and bridges, and creating good jobs.” Though AFT favors infrastructure, another investment doesn’t sit well with its president: hedge funds. “Not all hedge funds are bad,” she says. “But some are trying to kill the same plans that are investing in them.” Weingarten wants hedge fund managers seeking capital from pension plans to disclose any affiliations with organizations actively working to phase out defined benefit plans. In a recent report, the AFT spotlighted hedge fund managers’ links to organizations such as the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research and StudentsFirst, a lobbying organization for charter schools.
