The UFT Welfare Fund needs a forensic investigation. One has only to look at the CSA Welfare Fund benefits offered to both actives and retirees and compare with the UFT offerings. The UFT forces retirees to pay dues to access both SHIP and the Catastrophic Coverage whereas CSA offers a compilation of benefits far better than SHIP, at zero cost to actives and retirees alike, this includes a catastrophic plan with a $1000 deductible. NYSUT advised that it is at the locals’ discretion to require retirees to pay dues for access to the NYSUT programs. NYSIUT would not reveal which locals require dues of their retirees and which do not. Highly possible that the UFT local 2 is the only one with the dues payment requirement. It’s time for this investigation! Please advise, we look forward to participating in this endeavor.
I assume this is not for retirees since one question required a code for what district your school is in.
