I'm sorry that adversely affects you as a retiree, but you have benefitted from union action your whole career. In this Trump era, we need unions more than ever. Complain to the right people. Stop trying to rally people behind you to stop paying dues.

I found out that active employees received their per session lump-sum payments on 11/02/18. I have been checking the portal for over two weeks, and have received nothing.

Taking double dues has to stop. I work one day a week and the UFT takes dues out of my TRS pension and out of my DOE paycheck. The UFT used to refund the double dues taken from retirees but they stopped. They need the money because of Janus. That's the reason they give retirees who complain. Unless a retiree ends up paying more dues than a full-time UFT member, the retiree isn't entitled to a refund anymore. Retirees have to pay for prescription coverage monthly out of their pension. It's over 125.00 per month for a single person. The only thing that the UFT does that is good - they refund half of what a retiree pays for prescription coverage. Retirees got their retro what en working members got it in 2015, but not in 2017. There was a delay by a couple of days. The same thing will happen to retirees again this year so to all working members - the UFT treats retirees just as bad as working members.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
