We still have some open spots for this month’s Pre-Retirement Workshop Tuesday, September 21, 2021, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm, Part 1 (Medicare, Healthcare) and Thursday, September 23, 2021, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm, Part 2 ( Union Benefit, dental and vision). 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. The 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. You may take these workshops as many times as you like as the information is rather complex especially with Medicare. Also, you can take these two workshops in any order as they don’t depend on each other. 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 negotiated for you over the past 45+ years. Walter Apple does a great job at running these workshops and is able to answer individual member’s questions. We do not 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.
