Daniel speaks to retired educator, union activist Bennett Fischer. Bennett, along with over 300 retirees, is running on a slate to lead the retired teachers chapter within the United Federation of teachers. This upcoming spring retiree chapter election may have an impact on its union leadership in regards to the fight to stave off attempts by the city to force all Medicare eligible city retirees into the highly litigated and much maligned proposed Medicare Advantage plan.
In the second segment, Daniel speaks to Marianne Pizzitola, president of the New York Organization of Public Service Retirees. Her organization, comprised of NYC retirees from our city’s unions, has been leading the fight against the city and the top establishment union leadership ,who are partnering in cost savings healthcare givebacks that endanger the healthcare benefits of retired and active city workers.
