RH Jones: Board decision not fair!

From RH Jones, April 17, 2010
Subject: Leone to McGreevy....."Make sure you do what the OEA wants you to do."
To all retired educators:
Please forward this to every retired teacher you know and especially to those you know to be OEA-R members. OEA-R needs to start representing us. Most do not want a 1% COLA cut. We have been cut already in our HC/Rx. Therefore, we have done our part to keep the STRS funded. And, what about the 3% cut that the STRS took when they moved 3% of the HC/Rx fund into the general fund?
Jim McGreevy represents retired teachers on the STRS board. The board voted to delay the changes for actives until 2015, but want to cut 1% of our much needed COLA by July 2011. Fair? I do not think so. I do agree with Dennis 100%. Please read below.
