Toussaint Says TWU is “Selling Out”
Medicare Advantage isn’t just an “enhancement” for TWU Local 100 retirees—it’s a privatized trap. The shift, backed by union leadership, forces retirees into restrictive networks and pre-authorization hurdles that prioritize profits over care. Former TWU President Roger Toussaint warns that this move betrays union values and sets a dangerous precedent that could impact active workers. It’s time to reject corporate-driven healthcare and elect leaders who will fight for all of us.
The Battle For TWU Retiree Healthcare
Earlier today, I joined a Zoom call with TWU100R, alongside about 60 active and retired members, to discuss a critical issue that threatens the well-being of our retirees—the City’s push to force them into Medicare Advantage. This isn’t just a change in coverage; it’s an outright betrayal by Mayor Eric Adams and TWU Local 100’s leadership, who have sold out the very people who built this union. If this leadership can abandon our retirees now, what does that mean for the rest of us?
