The MLC said @billdeblasionyc.bsky.social prevented them from being transparent in 2021 when they jammed us into Medicare DisAdvantage. What's their excuse now? @dc37nyc.bsky.social @uftnyc.bsky.social #GregFloyd #GloriaMiddleton #HenryGarrido #HarryNespoli #EricAdams @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social

If @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wants to be Mayor, he should meet with the largest retiree organization in the City to understand what the City has been doing to us for the last 4 years. Our earned benefits and pension are diminished to benefit others.

The MLC and city imposed co-pays on Medicare Retirees for the first time in 60 years to fund their contract that doesn’t benefit a retiree. These costs are a financial burden and prevent preventing some from accessing healthcare. youtu.be/zqhipYtTcJU?...

gothamist.com/news/zohran-... @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is calling for city-owned grocery stores. NYC already has them. - Gothamist

a misc ping to @fdnychic.bsky.social

When @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ignores NYC Retirees you should ask yourself why. We are the largest NYC Retirees Organization in NYC and represent 250,000 retirees most of whom live in NY. We are retired and not in unions. He isn't even supportive of our state legislation as assemblyman

.@NycRetirees statement regarding the New York State Court of appeals decision. A larger Press release will be coming shortly @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social

Well Randi… you created some of this by allowing the UFT leadership to negotiate away retiree Medicare benefits & attacking retirees citywide They not only attacked this brave woman & unionist. They attacked rus for defending ourselves incluidng staffers like Ellie Engler Carte Blanche. Toxic UFT

I asked @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social and Eric Adams why they won’t support protecting traditional Medicare for NYC Retirees and they dummied up. youtu.be/O_kJ21_AikY?...

Adrienne isn’t for the people or @nycretirees.bsky.social

Adrienne is for Adrienne. NOT @nycretirees.bsky.social or anyone else

@aoc.bsky.social please meet with us! NYC Retirees have been fighting this

"We often hear politicians speak about how 'New York values' set us apart. But if we are allowing toddlers to be put on trial without legal representation, then what are those values really worth?" - New York City Council candidate @edafeokporo.bsky.social www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2025...

#voteABC #retiredlaborstrong @abettercontract.bsky.social

NYC union yanks backing for one Council member, pulls cash to others over Medicare Advantage beef www.nydailynews.com/2025/05/09/n... we were attacked by our former #unions who sold our Medicare benefits off to finance their slush funds

A message from the A Better Contract Slate We're encountering some UFT members who are confused about how to vote. Below are simplified instructions on what to do … if you are MAILING in your ballot. In-person voting instructions are different and will be shared at the polling sites.

Union labor is the backbone of a strong working class. This #InternationalWorkersDay, I'm proud to stand with the 250,000 @nycretirees.bsky.social fighting to save the healthcare benefits they've earned through decades of public sector union service. I will always stand with workers.

The NYC Retirees invited ALL candidates to our Inaugural Mayoral Debate. Those who agreed to attend had a nice evening and retirees, who make up the largest voting bloc in the state learned more about the candidates youtu.be/DANLtEwalmY?...

Vote for @abettercontract.bsky.social

NYC’s older adults and public service retirees deserve the health care they’ve earned—and peace of mind in retirement. Edafe will always protect Medicare and strengthen public health care. That’s why I’ve earned the support of @nycretirees.bsky.social.

#DC37 #HenryGarrido you have a pair of balls the size of Texas to be SENDING THIS WHEN YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO CUT OUR MEDICARE FOR 4YEARS & STEAL OUR VESTED BENEFITS WHEN WE AREN’T IN YOUR UNION ANYMORE AS RETIREES!!!! YOU ARE FORCING US INTO THE DEFAULT PROJECT2025 plan

When the @uftnyc.bsky.social @dc37nyc.bsky.social try to pull a risky pension deal behind the backs of pensioners &you ask questions it apparently makes leadership lie youtu.be/0Nqn--xWJcQ?... another deal with the Mayor. When is enough enough?

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?...
