Retiree Advocate Wins!
June 14, 2024 pm30 4:04 pm
Results are not yet official. But….
There are over 28,000 votes, up from 23,000 three years ago. Since the extra votes are mostly ours, and the margin was 9500 last time, and there were clearly more sources of votes for us – a win – which had seemed a long shot, now seemed really possible.
Here’s some discussion from yesterday about sources of votes and analysis of where the numbers might fall.
Higher turnout was a good sign. But counting votes in batches of 20 or 30 or 40 gave the proof. Retiree Advocate are winning almost every batch. A few are even. Unity is winning none.
I am 100% confident that Retiree Advocate has won.

The Best News!!!
I am Elated
So great. Congrats to all the Retiree Advocate slate. 63% to 37% are going to hard for unity and Mulgrew to spin.
CONGRATS!!!! FInally…union leadership that will actually represent and fight for what is best for its members!! It’s been way too long since we had leadership that cares. This is really an exciting win!
A sweet victory against Unity who too often was pedaling against our keeping traditional Medicare!
Reitirees were shaken to their core by the threat of losing Traditional Medicare to a hollow plan with little ongoing substance. The anxiety of future changes being made by a for-profit entity, engendered enmity for a leadership that needs us Not.
Fantastic news. I know there’s no deceit intended from you, but I’ll believe it when I see it. And if our candidate wins, Mulgrew will pull something – despicable.
Thank you, Jonathan I am curious regarding the health comm Mulgrew set up for “transparency”. It was not a democratic process. Only party lines (Unity) were accepted.
Interesting. Actually both “parties” participated – but the committee did not really do much. And the information that it shared was one-sided.
Our incoming leadership met yesterday – and while we are focused on getting started – the health committee did come up. It’s not what we will deal with Day 1 – but it is on our radar.
