"Dear friend,
Our allies, NYC Organization of Public Service Retirees have put out this urgent call to action for a rally at City Hall this coming Tuesday, April 11, at 12 PM, to all city retirees and all active city workers:
**************
"This is a call to rally for us to be heard! Time is of the essence!
Afterwards, we will be attending the City Council meeting & urging them to introduce our proposed bill!!
Bring your loved ones. This affects them too! This rally is for retirees and retirees in training (in-service/active workers).
This is your healthcare that the Municipal Labor Committee - dominated by the UFT and DC37, agreed to diminish. eliminating all our health plans and forcing us into Medicare Advantage. This is anti-labor and Un-American.
Medicare is a public health benefit! Be there with us!"
*************
In light of the unilateral decisions to force retired civil servants and essential workers who dedicated their lives in service to New York City into a diminished healthcare network and the MLC's secret, undisclosed proposed changes to active worker healthcare, its time we galvanize together to tell the City, and those who represent us, that we stand UNITED FOR OUR PREMIUM-FREE, QUALITY HEALTHCARE.
Make plans to attend this coming Tuesday. We need everyone there."
Also,
please sign this letter to the New York City Council.
This blog is hosted on behalf of the ACR/ATR Chapter Committee, a group seeking ACR/ATR chapters in the UFT, advocating for ourselves and offering mutual support. We welcome testimonials of your concerns and troubles as a displaced teacher, librarian, secretary, guidance counselor, social worker, psychologist, or speech or hearing therapist in rotation for the NYC DOE.

ATRs, the unrepresented -- no elected representatives in the UFT
"The right of voting for representatives is the primary right by which other rights are protected.
"To take away this right is to reduce a man to slavery, for slavery consists in being subject to the will of another."
