News & information.

This Monday, 1/9, at 10 am in the Council Chambers at City Hall, there’s a hearing by the Committee on Civil Service and Labor, on “A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to health insurance coverage for city employees, city retirees, and their dependents.” For convenience, here’s a pdf of the legislation file that’s linked at the hearing notice above. If you want to testify, visit this link for instructions.

This is the next step in the saga of the City and the major municipal labor unions’ attempt to shift retirees over to a Medicare Advantage plan from the current coverage. Here is a link to my December 19 statement on Medicare Advantage (also printed in a previous edition of this newsletter) and related coverage in The Chief (“Retirees’ Medicare Fight has Council Ally”).


 
How? By putting forth a proposed code change to Administrative Code 12-126 that would put ALL our healthcare in the hands of TWO unions (DC37 & UFT). 
 
 WE WILL CALL ALL PROGRESSIVE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. UNTIL THEY SEE A NYC RETIREE EARNED AND PAID FOR THEIR BENEFITS ND WE ARE NOT FOR SALE. LET THEM HEAR YOU. BECAUSE IF THEY SUCCEED IN CHANGING THE CODE, COME ELECTION TIME, THERE WILL BE MANY NEW COUNCIL MEMBERS; SEATS FILLED BY PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT SENIORS AND THE DISBLED. WE ORGANIZATED OVER 100,000 RETIREES IN TWO YEARS AND RAISED MILLIONS. LOOK FOR OUR ENDORSEMENT, OUR SUPPORT. RETIREES WILL HELP ANY COUNCILMEMEBER THAT PROTECTS US, AND THAT PROTECTS YOUR BENEFITS TOO!
