As we get close to 2023 I’m still following from some distance the fight by New York public employees resisting being forced into a privatized Medicare Advantage program.
In Kentucky, local JCTA (NEA) leadership colluded with KY Republican legislature to convert our DB pension to a hybrid in 2021, creating "legacy debt", unlikely to ever be adequately funded. Too inconvenient for union Leaders-for-Life (over 20 years in office) to put up resistance. Just another sellout to corporate America. Why would AFT act differently. New blood, anyone?
