4. City Council Call 1096 Campaign

​

​

This is the script for the Council Members NOT on 1096 - use the script below.  The Email campaign is at the end. 

​

Script for Non-sponsoring Council Members

 

Hi my name is ______ and I am the _________(if you were a former union officers/board member say that – and if from a union say which one)  (if DC 37 Local say it!)  _____. I am calling about Intro bill 1096, the retiree healthcare bill.

​

I urge you to sponsor the Intro 1096 and I hope you continue to stand with Retirees and our families. The City Council legislated our benefits since 1967 because unions cannot!  That is why Mayor Lindsay had the City Council pass Admin Code 12-126 because unions do not represent retirees.   Unions can negotiate and collectively bargain, retirees can’t anymore.   We earned our benefits and the Federal Public Health benefit of Medicare.  Even the court found Henry’s scheme violates the promises made to us and the benefits we earned and paid for.   To allow union leaders to liquidate our healthcare to finance young active workers simply because we are no longer in a union is not only egregious but anti-union.  Not protecting us jeopardizes the lives of the elderly and disabled, 9/11 responders and survivors, line of duty widows and widowers and our disabled adult children. 

• 1096 is funded by Administrative Code 12-126 as it preserves what you legislated in 1967 and updated through 2001. It literally states, “The City WILL PAY the FULL COST of HEALTH COVERAGE” and this is another reason Henry Garrido/DC37 is not to be trusted.

 

• It DOES NOT violate the Taylor Law or NYC Collective Bargaining Law and DOES NOT violate the union's right to collectively bargaining because retirees are not in unions once they retire. Our bill doesn’t affect unions only protects current retirees.

 

• Henry Garrido doesn’t want you to know his own lawyer, Alan Klinger said on a recording the NYC Retirees YouTube, that the bill isn’t illegal.

• Henry Garrido isn’t telling you if you pass this bill, it will interfere in his ability to liquidate retiree benefits for his union’s financial gain at the expense of retirees. He doesn't want you to interfere with his stealing from us and calling that "collective bargaining."

 

• Henry Garrido also doesn’t want you to know that his forcing retirees into Medicare Advantage is the default plan in Project 2025!

 

• Henry is pitting active workers against retirees, allowing them to think they risk increased healthcare costs because of us, and not the deal HE MADE.

Please pass this bill to preserve what we earned and the City Council legislated 60 years ago and allows the unions to build upon going forward!

 

REMEMBER TO CALL BOTH NUMBERS EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Be kind. Be Polite, but do this daily. We will ask you at the end of the week what kind of feedback you got on the calls.

If your last name begins with A-K, start at the top. L-M start calling from the bottom of this list. CALL BOTH NUMBERS.

 

These Council members are NOT on the bill.

This goes to the ones in Green.

 

Marte, Holden, Marmorato, Vernikov, Ariola, Paladino, Lee, Krishnan, Bottcher, Hanif, Narcisse, Brewer, Aviles

 

Hi my name is ______ and I am the _________(if you were a former union officers/board member say that – and if from a union say which one)  (if DC 37 Local say it!)  _____.

 

I am calling about Intro bill 1096, the retiree healthcare bill. I want to say THANK YOU sponsoring the bill and standing with retirees, our families, the disabled, 9/11 responders and survivors, line of duty widows and widowers and our disabled adult children.  The City Council legislated our retiree’s Medicare benefits in 1967 and protected us for decades from greedy mayors!  This bill 

• protects retirees' Federal Public Health benefit of Medicare

• Is funded by Administrative Code 12-126 as it preserves what you legislated in 1967 and updated in 2001. It literally states, “The City WILL PAY the FULL COST of HEALTH COVERAGE” and this is another reason Henry Garrido/DC37 is not to be trusted. 

• is cannot possibly violate the Taylor Law or NYC Collective Bargaining Law or a union’s right to collectively bargaining because retirees are not in a union!

Please ask your colleagues to sign on and protect THEIR Medicare rights too!

 

Thank you!
