LISTEN: Retirees are Being ‘Screwed Over by the Mayor’, NYC Council Member Says/Ending 24-Hour ‘Slavery’
By Bob Hennelly
In the second half of this week’s Stuck Nation Labor Radio Hour, we catch up with New York City Council Member Christopher Marte (D-Dist. 1). He updates us on the status of his bill which would end the slavery-like practice of live-in homecare workers only getting paid for 13 hours despite their round the clock presence in the homes of the people they care for.
He also gives us a behind the scenes look at the municipal budget process and explains why he opposes Mayor Adams forcing 250,000 New York City retired civil servants on Aetna Medicare Advantage Plan. Plus, listener calls!
