This Again?

This pops up every so often, and is a clear example of why you ought to show up at FOP meetings to keep an eye on shit:

• The City's position is to eliminate all post-retirement health benefits except for statutorily required benefits and benefits promised to a closed group of certain annuitants who retired prior to August 23, 1989. The City has entered into a collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police for the periods of 2017 through 2027; that agreement includes the CBA benefit for the full term of that agreement. At this time, other than the new collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police, it is not known whether or when the CBA special early retirement health benefits will be specifically eliminated, modified, or extended.

  Therefore this year's reporting of liabilities is based upon benefits.

Someone addressed it in a different comment section, saying that if you retired under a current Contract, then they can't retroactively take things away - they can only screw the younger guys and gals moving forward. Which means whatever leadership is/was in power would have to sell you out....which is exactly why you show up at the meetings. 

Maybe not every meeting, but enough to stay informed.
