THE LUCENT RETIREES ORGANIZATION (LRO)

was chartered in January 2003 in the state of New York. It's purpose is to address the interests of 127,000 individuals under the Lucent pension plan that embodies all Lucent and Bell Labs retirees, including those who retired when the company was known as Western Electric and/or AT&T Network Systems, plus subsidiaries such as Teletype and Sandia.

The LRO was formed to leverage members' Lucent stock ownership power, their long-standing and influential relationships not only with Lucent but with Lucent's customers and their influence with lawmakers and regulators. The LRO wants to assist Lucent in returning to its former position as the premier telecommunications leader in the world.

The organization endeavors to safeguard the pensions and benefits that Lucent has committed to provide its retirees, spouses and dependents. In addition, the LRO helps its members and their families with issues relating to their pensions, benefits, Social Security, Medicare and other aspects that impact their quality of life.

We currently have over 12,000 members. LRO membership is open to current retirees with a Lucent pension, a person vested for a Lucent pension, or the spouse of any such retiree or vested person. The LRO is incorporated as a non-profit organization. 'JOIN US' to become an LRO member.
