Quoted: Is the entire country NYC and does every cop in the country work for the NYPD and does every Union in the country only exist as the Union for the NYPD? No, it doesn't? OMG! Because last I checked, I don't work for the NYPD, live in NYC, nor does my Union represent or have anything related to NYC. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Combine that with dirty politicians Okay, let's stop right there. Who do the unions vote for and politic for? As I've pointed out a number of times, NYC is endorsing liberal Democrats for office in the 2020 elections. Want to go around the country? Also, as I said in a post very recently, do your job. You can't protest your job. Either you do it or you don't. I'm a civil engineer designing a bridge. I'm going to protest and ignore my responsibility because I'm angry at my boss. Even though doing so could cause the life of innocent people. I'm a cop responsible for answering calls. I'm going to protest and ignore my responsibility because I'm angry at my boss.

Because last I checked, I don't work for the NYPD, live in NYC, nor does my Union represent or have anything related to NYC. Around here police or fire, you retire with what you put in. We do not pay social security. Our city opted out, not fair I know but lucky me. We pay TMRS. 7% of my check every payday goes to TMRS. I keep paying into it, as it is withdrawn from my check, until I retire. You retire with what you have banked with interest. I also have a 457b which I have withdrawn from my check to supplement that. That goes into mutual funds of my choosing, FROM THE FUNDS THE PLAN ADMINSTRATOR OFFERS. So I paid dearly into that to supplement my retirement. I am logging in to figures standby. |

My current benefit today per month if I retired with 28 years 6 months of service would be $3515/month. That benefit would extend to my wife after my death.
My 457b that I heavily invested in has to pick up the slack. I am eligible to buy insurance from the city for me at 85% of the full cost. As an employee they subsidize a good bit more while I work, when I retire 85% of the cost belongs to me. That is about $1300/month currently for retirees. That ends when you are old enough for medicare. Why does the IAFF suck off the demoncrats, because it is an organized crime family. I have nothing to do with them. They do not receive my money and haven't for years. |
