Many active employees have collective bargaining contracts and are represented by a union.
Massachusetts law does not allow public retirees to collectively bargain. Once retired, public employees no longer have the contractual protections of active employees. That’s the state law for every retiree, regardless of where you once worked or the union to which you belonged.
Mass Retireeswas founded in 1968 to advocate for all public retirees – ensuring that you will always have a strong voice.
- We fight for you at the local, state and federal levels of government
- We represent all retirees on your local Public Employee Committee (PEC), which negotiates for local retiree healthcare benefits
- We file and advocate for legislation to keep retiree health insurance high quality and affordable
- We’re national leaders in the fight to reform the Social Security Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) law – ending the so-called “double dipping” penalty
