DO YOU HAVE A UFT RETIREE IN YOUR LIFE? PROTECT THEIR HEALTHCARE, YOUR HEALTHCARE, AND OUR DIGNITY!

In what is literally a life or death situation, all UFT Retirees need to vote for the slate RETIREE ADVOCATE in the upcoming Retired Teachers Chapter Election. In a shocking and unforgivable betrayal, Michael Mulgrew and Eric Adams conspire to place all municipal retirees into a trashbag, for-profit, and deadly Medicare Advantage Plan to save the mayor and his cronies a few extra bucks.

But RETIREE ADVOCATE has stood strong and fought for our rights at every turn; in the streets, in union halls, and in court, to preserve the Traditional Medicare that was promised to us when we were hired. Almost everyone reading this email, regardless of your age or professional title, will one day be a municipal retiree, and will one day rely on the municipal retiree health benefits provided by the City of New York.

Secure your future, protect Traditional Medicare and your family’s health, and tell every UFT Retiree you know to vote for RETIREE ADVOCATE.

Ballots will be mailed out to all UFT Retirees’ home addresses on or around May 10th. Mark an “X” in the RETIREE ADVOCATE box on page 1 only. Return your sealed mail-in ballot, ASAP, to the address provided in the mailing. All ballots must be mailed back by Thursday, June 13th.

Whether you are a retiree, an in-service veteran, or a newbie that has just been or is waiting to be hired, the 2024 UFT Retired Teachers Chapter Election may very well be the most consequential UFT election of your lifetime. Please tell every UFT Retiree you know to vote for RETIREE ADVOCATE.
