Thank you Joe! We need to educate the leaders of the MLC so they are not bullied by the actions of a few. In this case, Michael Mulgrew and Unity Caucus keeps misleading not only their members and retirees, but the other unions in MLC. Our series on the misrepresentations of the MLC leadership/ Michael Mulgrew will continue. We have plenty yet to share! We need strong unions in NYC, who also honor the commitment made to its former members who are now retired unionists! We also need to end attrition bargaining where its is acceptable to giveback previous earnings. Doing so says you have a finite value, and it doesn't increase. You are an asset to the City and your value increases! Celebrate union wins like the recent UAW! A 25% raise in a 4-year contract! 16% in year one! Inflation protection in COLA! NO CONSESSIONS IN HEALTHCARE!!!!! Unions are NOT a 'partner' with the City. They will always try to suppress you. Garrido, Mulgrew and Nespoli all failed in this last round. Not only did they settle for low increases, they agreed to MAJOR healthcare concessions and givebacks. And threw out their retirees in an attempt to force them into Medicare Advantage - a privatized for-profit managed care plan to use the value of OUR benefit, for them. They not only sold off your choice, they tried to pass costs to retirees in the form of premium and co pays, and were throwing away the health plan that had a union in it, to one that did not. That is not what a union should stand for. Our job is to teach them to fight back. The other MLC unions need to pay attention. They are next in this scheme with the current RFP.
