Justin Brannan Does Not Support NYC Retirees
I saw someone on Facebook write that they spoke to Justin Brannan and Brannan said he supports NYC Retirees. I knew this wasn’t true, so I asked Marianne Pizzitola on Twitter.
Pizzitola responded that Brannan had not supported the retirees in keeping their healthcare and this photo of Brannan with other NYC Council members who aren’t supporting retirees.
The retirees also noted that Ari Kagan has backed them since the beginning!
Justin Brannan wrote the retirees a strange email and incorrectly told them the Taylor Law allows THEM to collectively bargain. (See email) The retirees do not get to collectively bargain! It’s strange Justin Brannan does not know that!
If Brannan didn’t like the legislation introduced into NYC, he could have written other legislation. Justin Brannan has done nothing to help the retirees keep their healthcare plans.
Yesterday, the retirees fired back at Brannan social media:
I also saw a person incorrectly state on Facebook that Justin Brannan’s mother was part of the retirees. While Brannan’s mother is a retired teacher, she worked for Catholic schools, so her healthcare is not affected. (See here)
Update: The Judge ordered in favor of the NYC Retirees!
