LOCAL 2021 GENERAL MEETING NEWS
10-05-2011
Don Groth was guest speaker raising hope that he could reopen
OTB in NYC.
The
veto language of the Retirees health benefit did not specify constitutionality
or huge cost as a reason for its’ veto but rather that
there was no appropriation for this funding. In the next regular session of
state legislation, Pres. Lenny Allen, Director of Political Action Wanda
Williams and DC 37 Executive Director Lillian Roberts along with certain state
legislators will address that issue pushing for a budget amendment for its
funding.
The
supplemental benefits provided by DC 37 (Dental, Drugs, Optical, Audiology,
etc.)
are being
discontinued for OTB Retirees as of midnight of October 31, 2011. Read here for alternative means of
coverage.
The
benefits are also available through Cobra. For the coverage, rates and
applications read/download here.
