Thank you for the resolution and that we won in the Supreme Court. One can see now that Unity is really worried what will come in May. Our vote totals for resolutions really must worry them. Wish I could have been there.
Thanks Arthur. We did not win, today, in the Supreme Court. Today we won in the Court of Appeals. That, for some reason, is the highest court in NY State. The Supreme Court is not, in fact, all that supreme in these parts.
Marianne has stood for us even as our union leaders, paid with our dues, tried to throw us to the wolves. Thanks for contributing. They're doing the work our leaders should be doing.
No one asked Mr Brown if the TRS Board decided to eliminate paper statements? If so, did they consult the members or the RTC prior to making that decision?

Is there state legislation to support preserving Medicare and Medicare supplement at no cost to NUC retirees? Is so, who are the sponsors? If there are sponsors,
As I understand it, they decided to eliminate them, but for now anyone who wanted paper ones could request them for the year 2025. As for next year, no one seemed to know.
There is state legislation to do that. I am not sure who the sponsors are. Good idea asking them to address us. I'll run it up the flagpole.
I'm retired for one year, and about to turn 65. I just looked at the city's table of costs. If I understand it correctly, I'm going to go from having $222.17 deducted from my pension for family coverage under GHI-CBP to $871.98! Can this be true? That is a huge pay cut--and I had no idea when I retired how much this would cost. So, that is a long way of saying, I support 1096-2024 and all the court cases and activism being done by the united NYC Retirees. #Unions
Thank you, and so do I. You do need to register for Medicare. That figure doesn't make sense to me, but I'm not an expert. I'm over 65 and I don't pay that much. If I were you, I would call UFT and get an explanation.

You are right. I forgot that fact. However, it is important that we won in the state’s highest court. And yes, I sent another $30 to Maryann’s group.

shouldn’t they speak to the RTC?
Thank you!
