Other reasons for us to form a PGTA-Retired chapter
include:
- Focus on issues
that affect us as retirees such as the costs and
levels of continuing health benefits
- Communicate
directly upon hearing of any proposed increase
in costs for premiums or prescription drugs or
amount of co-pay
- Request and
receive direction from our PGTA-R members when
PGUSD negotiations concern retirees' issues
- Provide guidance
and resources whenever our PGTA-R members
experience changes in marriages or deaths in the
family
- Let everyone know
of future business or social meetings.
