We would like to congratulate all our members that have recently retired or will retire in the next few weeks. This is not the way we would have liked to congratulate you. We would have much rather been able to do it in person but in the current COVID situation we have to adapt. We have members at Vassar, Verizon, and Marist that have all retired or will by the end of the year. We would like to thank you for your years of hard work, dedication and solidarity. It is the membership that shapes and empowers this Union. We wouldn't be able to enjoy the benefits that we currently enjoy without you, your hard work and we won't forget it.  So again CONGRATULATIONS, BE SAFE AND MOST OF ALL ENJOY YOUR NEXT CHAPTER. THANK YOU!!!!
