<p>Opposing Governor Andrew Cuomo's pension plan is about to come to Zuccotti Park.</p>
<p>One of New York's public employee unions,  the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, is holding a “Tier It Down!” rally tomorrow afternoon against  Governor Cuomo's "Tier 6" proposal, where new employees would receive scaled down pension benefits in an effort to curb costs.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>The rally tomorrow comes <a href="http://www.capitaltonight.com/2011/11/afscme-ny-launches-two-week-ad-campaign/" target="_blank">as the union is also engaging in a television campaign</a> against Mr. Cuomo's proposal. Other unions <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/dailypolitics/2012/03/afl-cio-holsters-its-ad-war" target="_blank">have decided to hold their fire</a>, for now, but AFSCME is pushing forward.</p>
<p>Tomorrow's event will feature local public service employees, Reverend Billy and the Church of Earthalujah!, and "The 1707 Steppers (step-dancing daughters of local union members)."</p>
<p>The Zuccotti Park protest comes on "the one-year anniversary of the death of collective bargaining in Governor Scott Walker’s Wisconsin."</p>
