I want to be able to trust Michael Mulgrew and the Unity leadership of our UFT. But the reality is they weren't transparent with us regarding Appendix B in our 2018 contract, or with the Medicare Advantage plan they tried to force onto all retired city workers. This time around, we get a healthcare FAQ on the UFT website and a couple UFT town halls that were run as sales pitches from Michael Mulgrew. Mulgrew and Unity won't let us see the actual contract, even in a redacted form. This forces me to vote NO.

How will the plan realize 10% in savings? By freezing reimbursement rates to providers.
Mulgrew knows that. He runs the UFT’s self-funded dental plan; that is exactly what he did. Try finding a dentist who will accept the plan.
