Dear Chapter Leadership and Members,<\/p>\n
We still have some open spots for this month\u2019s Pre-Retirement Workshop on Tuesday and Thursday July 20th<\/sup>\u00a0and July 22nd from 12-1pm.\u00a0 We split the workshop over two days so we could cover the items covered in an hour so it can be done at lunchtime. Part 1 deals with Medicare and trading in sick days to pay for health insurance and Part 2 deals with the available benefits such as Vision and Dental care that staying a member of the union provides.\u00a0The Chair of the Retiree Membership Committee Charlie McAteer usually attends this session and will give you information on maintaining membership when you retiree and why it is important. \u00a0You may take these workshops as many times as you like as the information is rather complex especially with Medicare.\u00a0 Also you can take these two workshops in any order as they don\u2019t depend on each other, also next month we will be doing the workshops in the evening.\u00a0 These Workshops have been very popular over the past year and we have had over 2,000 members attend and I encourage every member to attend, even new members so you understand the great benefits we have negioated for you over the past 45+ years. Walter Apple does a great job at running these workshops and is able to answer individual members questions.\u00a0 We\u00a0do not<\/u>\u00a0<\/b>record these workshops because of privacy concerns and because the information does change and we want to make sure you have the most current instructions. \u00a0Let me know if you have any questions.<\/p>\n To register for the workshop use the below link:<\/p>\n
