Shame on Henry Garrido DC37 @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/8PExo... Allowing the largest union in the city of New York to steal from retired labor in retirement isn’t leadership, it’s criminal and it’s also the default plan in #Project2025 #democraticFailure

Today’s Labor & Healthcare report @wbai.org joined by Michelle Keller, Arthur Goldstein re: DC37 Mayoral Forum, joined by Joe Maniscalco of Work Bites. Heard @jessicaramosqns.bsky.social speak about the retiree healthcare issue Henry caused & his play on “bargaining” wbai.org/archive/prog...

When Mayor Adams tried to force 250,000 City retirees onto a privatized Medicare Advantage plan, I rejected the contract. I have retirees' backs—and I'm grateful to have @nycretirees.bsky.social's endorsement.

@nycretirees.bsky.social are fed up w/politicians not doing their jobs & protecting our vested healthcare & #Medicare. So we are endorsing candidates that made that commitment to us in writing.Thank you @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social @edafeokporo.bsky.social #aliciaVaichunas www.retiredlaborstrong.nyc

Thank you @mayaforcouncil.bsky.social we are proud to stand with you!

#dc37nyc #afscme #HenryGarrido #union

Together, we did some truly powerful work this year and to say we’re proud is an understatement. Check out a bit of what we accomplished in 2024 and a Happy New Year to all! ⬇️

The #MLC leadership is lying to you. They want access to your health plan even though you’re not in their union to give back to the city to finance their contract. They transfer premium in the form of copays. Go ahead @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social keep protecting henry

DC37, UFT, Harry Nespoli say they need copays- they are passing premium to you. For younger people, it may not be a big deal, for older people &disabled, This is a penalty in using your healthcare. The MLC doesn’t want you to know they wanna keep raising your co-pays to fund their contracts

Can someone tell us why the @nycprogressives.bsky.social @socialists.nyc are not protecting #medicare in NYC &allowing @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social @mayoradams.bsky.social to implement #project2025 by forcing us into Medicare Dis-advantage? The default in the Heritage foundation blueprint?🙄 #bueller

When your former union sides with management and liquidates retiree healthcare you fight back. All the way to the NYS COURT OF APPEAL! 11 wins 2 unanimous appeals decisions. Protect #Medicare & retirees! www.youtube.com/live/kABp8rS...

When @twulocal100.bsky.social strip their Retirees health benefits away and forced them into privatized Medicare advantage, he diminished #healthcare and removed their access to #Medicare. Then he lied about it www.work-bites.com/view-all/dav...

3 years ago today, the Elmwood store in Buffalo, NY organized and won a union. Since then, we've grown, fought, and won - together. As workers prepare for what we hope is the final phase of negotiations with the company, we're celebrating our strength and solidarity today! Here's to MANY more ✊

I'm proud that I founded @levernews.com - one of the few news outlets that's been covering the health care crisis for years. The corporate news outlets that ignored the crisis & that are only showing up now are telling on themselves. Sure, better late than never...but still.

Because stealing Medicare benefits earned by retired unionists to give active workers a raise is classy according to Richard Davis - but it almost killed a retirees wife . @twulocal100.bsky.social youtu.be/uJfcYx1amFU?...

Why is Mayor Adams & Speaker Adams pushing the #project2025 blueprint for #medicare privatization ? youtu.be/svgnCJLod0Y?...

When @nycretirees.bsky.social are forced to protect themselves in court because mayor Adams is trying to steal our #medicare & the city council is letting him do it. You hire lawyers to protect you from the city implementing #project2025 on Retirees.

Jim Walden supports protecting @nycretirees.bsky.social #medicare benefits

Anyone in an Aetna plan should worry. www.cnbc.com/amp/2024/11/... hedge funds and venture capitalists don’t belong in healthcare

youtu.be/nqSyundhvp4?... Because the transit union shouldn’t be selling off retirees #medicare for raises for active workers stealing from those who built their former union. History.

We have been fighting the city of NY for over 3 years to stop them from liquidating our #retiree healthcare benefits & force us into #medicare disadvantage. We won 10 times in court w/2 unanimous appeals decisions the Mayor, Speaker & committee chair refuse to protect us. Www.nycretirees.org

"For the union makes us strong!"

youtu.be/O82J9Pgs8BY?... @nycretirees.bsky.social had a great day protecting their #medicare & fighting back against those trying to take it #uft #dc37 @nycmayor.bsky.social retired labor earned their benefits & no one not even the Mayor of NYC should take them or privatize a public health benefit

We get a lot of questions about copays They were agreed to by Michael Mulgrew UFT, Henry Garrido Dc37, Harry Nespoli Sanitation under the MLC so they could get a raise. They imposed this on Retired workers no longer in their unions, The elderly, disabled, 911 responders who can’t afford it

NYC Mayor Eric Adams indicted on bribery charges. We make the following statement
