Mayor Mamdani should protect the medical benefits of retired municipal workers in NYC

Municipal workers accepted lower pay & benefits for decades in exchange for a pension and healthcare.
You don’t get to change the deal after the work is done & we retired because it forces us into a man-made affordability crisis.

Retirees are seeing their own former unions sell off their healthcare to leverage raises for active workers. This is anti union. Anti Labor. Anti Retiree, and Inhuman. They forced us to fight them. We should never have been in that position.

Who have you got from New York’s largest retiree association, @nycretirees.bsky.social ? No one who’s fighting to preserve the health benefits promised to 250,000 retired city workers? That’s what I thought.

Is there anyone who cares that the mayor imposing costs for the first time in 60 years on Medicare eligible Retirees on Low fixed income is putting them in medical debt and creating an affordability crisis? This was a VM from one of my retirees
