I too, voted against that second amendment. I second your resolution. If Mulgrew really means what he says, he would sign an amicus to our lawsuit. He would lobby to have 1096 passed by the Council. That would be genuine support.
THANK YOU Arthur! I agree with all you said, and join others in FULLY seconding your Resolution to support Intro 1096 at Tuesday's RTC Meeting.
I also voted against that 2nd amendment to our Healthcare Resolution at the DA Meeting. Seems I'm not the only one that felt installing a "Permanent Medical Task Force" sounded suspicious, especially since Unity loves to hire gig-loving folks, not to mention push 'smart people' at us who are tied to big$. But that 2nd amendment got rammed through after LeRoy Barr distracted many in the DA with his 'loud and rousing' 1st amendment against Medicare Advantage
Yep, like you said: more words with no actions, means they'll just blame others if Medicare Advantage comes our way!
Today, another not-to-be trusted Union leader, Henry Garrido, has invited all of City Council to his DC37 HQs to hear his lies against our Intro 1096. As many know, Marianne Pizzitola and her lawyers, who drafted the bill, weren't invited. It'd be great if Michael Mulgrew or LeRoy Barr joined today's rally in protest of this outrage and lobby for this beautiful bill.
No doubt our 'impassioned' Unity Leaders won't be there today -- nor for any serious stand on our healthcare any day
Thanks Laura. I'm going out there to support Marianne and NYC Retirees on this lovely day. If you come, bring a raincoat. I don't know about you, but I have no luck with umbrellas.
I'm so glad you'll be at that today's rally Arthur! It's killing me that I'm unable to be there, as I'm in NJ taking care of my dad, who, btw, wants me to relay how much he loves Marianne and all of you protestors lobbying for Intro 1096- despite the wet and cold weather. No insult to umbrellas, but, I, too, have preferred my raincoat. I pray your messages get heard loud and clear - and that Garrido's shameful lies take an effective hit.
I don’t understand why everyone at the Retirees Meeting allowed Mulgrew to railroad it. When he illegally extended the time why didn’t everyone walk out or have him removed. Why allow him to illegally propose a Resolution and have it voted on. You only reinforced the fact that rules don’t apply to MM.
So that all retirees had the choice of paying an extra 2400 per person, or 4800 per couple, per year, to start, to retain the care they were led to expect free of charge all their careers? Absolutely. And no matter how low their pensions were, UFT paraprofessionals and DC37 employees making very little would have that option. Yes they did and thanks a lot.

It would, and it would be a nice change. Let's make it happen!
Great reso! Hope it gets the support from the opposition and maybe even some Unity members on Tuesday.
Let’s pass it!
Let's!

Unity needs to be voted out!

This was not a retiree meeting. It was the Delegate Assembly.
Thanks for clarifying
