Greeting from President Mike:
I hope all of
our members and their families and friends are
doing alright and staying safe during this
trying time. We haven’t had a meeting since
March and the whole world seems to be at a
standstill. Many of our members are from “the
greatest generation” and I believe that the rest
of us are from “the pretty damn good
generation.” We worked hard, raised our
families, and we will persevere. I am proud that
each meeting we start with the Pledge of
Allegiance - we know what a “folded flag” means.
Even though our ability to meet in person has
temporarily changed, our purpose and mission
have not. It is just as important now that we
support each other and protect our rights. We
are going to continue on with our group and we
will be soliciting dues for the 2021 membership
year. Please join me in renewing your membership
and tell your former co-workers what we are
about and encourage them to join us. We believe
that the City will be coming after active and
retiree health care VERY strongly and we want to
make sure we are unified and prepared. We will
resume meetings and social events as soon as
safely possible. Annual dues are still only
$15.00. Please renew or join now. We want all
public employees to be part of our group.
Actives and Retirees
covered under Duluth JPE Health
Insurance.
Our
Providers are changing from
Health
Partners to Medica.

At first glance, the coverage for
actives, retirees, or dependants with or
without Medicare seem about the same as
before.
