During this catastrophe, the federal government utterly failed the people they are supposed to serve and the toll has been more horrific even than most American wars.

Many members are understandably anxious about losing their healthcare at the end of August. We are working diligently to negotiate an extension to your healthcare coverage and to extend the Coronavirus safety agreement.

We will keep you updated on the status of negotiations. If you haven’t already, please sign up to receive text alerts from the Union. If you have questions, you can contact the Union at (212) 245-8100 and select option #1 or submit a question online.
