GOP's angry agenda

To the editor: The abortion issue is being used by the GOP as a tool to confuse and conflate the white supremacist and misogynist positions of the Trump-inspired Republican Party.

A betrayal

To the editor: New York City retirees have been betrayed by the current and former NYC Mayors and the MLC.

Contract is no bargain

To the editor: Republicans differentiate from Democrats by taking a lot more from workers. But Democrats still take some away.See The Chief article "Quality of life concerns weigh heavily on …

A fuller truth on Medicare

To the editor: In a recent communique to active and retired members of District Council 37, Executive Director Henry Garrido asked that members contact their City Council Members to tell them that they are in favor of amending the NYC Administrative Code 12-126.

A sick idea

To the editor: Mayor Eric Adams, the Office of Labor Relations and the complicit Municipal Labor Committee (MLC) want city employees and retirees to think that a Medicare Advantage plan is a win-win for all.

Consider the alternatives

To the editor: Both DC37 and the UFT are urging their members to contact the City Council to amend Section 12-126 of the Administrative Code. The proposed amendment, which does not yet have a sponsor, would weaken health insurance protections for both municipal retirees and in-service employees. 

Essential to protect pols

Political comedy

To the editor: I take the upcoming elections very seriously, but I have to find some humor in the process that could hurt most Americans.

Hochul failing us

To the editor: A bumper sticker has this saying: "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."    Here in 2022 we have a governor and a legislature with a super-majority that needs to be changed. WalletHub in March 2022 identified New York State as having the "highest tax burden" based on property, income, sales and excise taxes as a share of total personal income.  

An admonishment

To the editor: In the article "UFT begins bargaining for new contract” (The Chief, Oct. 21), the paragraph “There are also concerns that increased health care costs, which have drained the Health Insurance Premium Stabilization Fund, could interfere with the city's ability to provide substantial raises" is not totally correct. 

Unions need accountability

To the editor: In September, The Chief ran a story about the Transit Workers Union opposing a bill that would ban horse carriages. Most recently, I see that many unions are siding with Mayor Eric Adams trying to get the City Council to force city retirees into a retirement plan that they don’t want. 

To the editor: During a recent interview, Bernie Sanders said that abortion is an important issue, but that Democrats are placing too much focus on it. He is right that Democrats need to also push …

Carriage life is no horseplay

To the editor: Responding to Bob Croghan’s letter titled “Kill the horses?” (The Chief, Oct. 7): A recent poll revealed that 71 percent of New York City voters support a ban of horse …

Putin far from only villain

The ills of Medicare Advantage

To the editor: A page one blockbuster article in the Oct. 8 issue of The New York Times should be a wakeup call for all active and retired city workers.  The article examines how multiple health …

The bad old days
