As we follow the current fight by New York City public employees, including teachers, to keep retirement healthcare from being a forced Medicare Advantage program, we have to go back to before the Democrats nominated Joe Biden rather than Bernie Sanders.
In the case of NEA, my suspicion, given the outrageous compromises on pension and healthcare made my my local, JCTA (leader-for-life in power in Louisville, KY), is that money must have passed - to explain the sellouts we members have sustained under this leadership. The "I'm-taken-care-of, so-why-should-I-exert-myself" approach to protecting teacher benefits - seems to explain the sellouts.
We're going to continue having this sort of problem as long as we have no alternative to the Republicans.
