Jones supports Bracy to OEA-R's Bill Sears but adds both Retired STRS Board Members as well

From RH Jones, October 13, 2010

To ORTA and OEA-R, Jim McGreevy and Bob Stein:

Are you two unions, supporting retired teachers as your (our) constitution directs you to do? I certainly don't think so! I strongly encourage all of you members of one or more of these "unions" to start telling them to begin acting like a union and represent the membership: retired teachers. And Ditto to our two OH STRS Board Members.

Regardless of the rhetoric that all of the above have been espousing to justify cutting our COLA, retired teachers have already had cuts in the form of our 13th check, and HC/Rx. It is grossly unfair to ask more of us. Any cut could be considered by many to be not conforming to accepted common standards .
