I don’t think you should accept the contract until you force the leaders of the UFT to spell out exactly what the story is with your health care especially after what they are trying desperately to do to the retirees on Medicare who worked thirty forty or more years in the system
Tier 6 is state law and unions across the state have been attemptrmg to improve Tier 6 for a decade, local governments, who would bear the cost of additional benefits have been unsurpsingly opposing, In the past unions incrementally improved pension benefits, Tier 3 to Tier 4, get involved, have you spoken with your electeds? btw the cost of healthcare is accelerating each year, finding the $$ is challenging
