A letter recently went out to union retirees explaining one way they can give to NYSUT’s political action fund: pension deduction.

“The key to effecting change is VOTE/COPE,” said NYSUT Executive Vice President Alan Lubin. “Through our political action fund, we can have a voice in political decisions and regulatory changes that affect our members,” such as the recent COLA legislation.

Lubin said the pension deduction option “where retirees choose to have a specified amount of money deducted from their pensions” is an easy and effective way to give to the fund.
