“The healthcare of our city’s retirees, who have dedicated their lives to public service and improving the lives of New Yorkers, is of paramount importance. Today’s announcement by the mayor only reinforces our consistent position that responsibility for the healthcare decisions of municipal employees and retirees rests with the mayoral administration. We are pleased that the mayor has finally found a resolution to achieve savings without reducing retirees’ healthcare choices, which has always been our priority. I’m heartened that our city and its retirees will no longer face continued uncertainty and can now move towards a solution.”
