Fire code violation…ask the NYC fire department to check out the lessened emergency egress, for retiree chapter, or the “uncontaminated” Unity folks. Apparently, the meaning of “union” is well-fractured, and may be unsafe.
This is what it means to care and DEMAND honesty! Thanks Arthur! Cheers for passing the important 1096 Resolution and for refusing to blink as the Unity Wall continues to show its true 'teeth' in so many forms. The Unity leaders would also love to wall off their egregious past -- but thanks to persons like you, they cannot!
Thx Arthur. In solidarity we stand -with both eyes open! After years of gaslighting, divisive strategies, and abuse, Unity Leaders now want to convince everyone they've seen the light, and had nothing but good intentions for us. Yet their behavior at our RTC Meeting reflected anything but. This piece helped me understand the frantic way Unity loyalists objected to long-debunked issues and did what they could to ram in their amendments. They're protecting their walled-off self-serving turf. Just seeing how they've physically shut out our RTC CL had me gasp in disbelief. Can't wait for the next A Better Contract (ABC) Assembly scheduled on Sun. Jan 5th!
Bennett tells me the door is supposedly connected to the fire detection system and automatically opens. However, that has not been independently confirmed to us by the FD or an independent inspector.
Oof does that wall feel familiar. Mine was not so literal but just as maddening. I am happy that someone with a wider reach can tell this story but sorry that RA is going through it. I hope you feel you have each other and are retired so have more bandwidth to process.
My personal wall now is my wife who has just been diagnosed with lymphoma. I have no option but traditional MEDICARE. With it, she gets top notch care from Sinai. If it was not for the court cases which our union did not support, we would probably have rejected claims and debt. Yes, I could afford an extra 5000 a year because I have a large pension and still work. However, by having to work for my wife to get care abrogates the promise made to me when I was 22 years old that I would retire with dignity and dignity means without worry or any change in my lifestyle for the 36 years of hard work I gave to educate almost two generations of kids and still give. Unity still feels no shame for what they did and needs to be banished from leadership so we can have a strong democratic union to fight the reactionary forces surrounding us that have no care about the health or welfare of hard working people.
I'm very sorry you and your wife have to go through that.
It's unbelievable how they can get up there and pretend to support us while doing absolutely nothing to help us. They still don't understand they aren't fooling anyone.
The thing that bothered me so was Leroy using Ellen Fox death to really make a political speech. I could not believe their lack of real empathy. They should never criticize Trump because they are the same.
Let’s bring down that wall this spring.
Absolutely!

Persons like US, Laura. I was pretty surprised at how strongly they opposed it, particularly after all their big talk at the DA.

I'll be there with you!
Mr.Mulgrew tear down that wall!
And do it personally.
Is the wall legal? Up to code? Does the fire department approve?
It doesn't block any emergency exit, as far as I know. Of course, that's only as far as I know.

The “health care committee” is a Trojan horse.
Mulgrew is playing chess, the RTC is playing checkers.
I don't trust that committee at all. They had some ulterior motive for it, probably as a shield for their inevitable bad decisions.
Mulgrew will pack it with his very smart people!
They'll survey one another and claim people want tiered care with potentially enormous copays. But not until after the election, of course.
Where are they getting 600 million dollars in “health care savings”?!
If we lose Bentkowski, directly from us. Otherwise, my answer is not fit to publish.

Very sorry you had to go through what you did, Melissa. We will work to stop the abuse.

Arthur, your wife is in my thoughts.

That was pretty cheesy. We must stay together, from the same guy who said members should shun us.
