Unity Fights: Healthcare Lawsuit Thrown Out

A court has tossed out the lawsuit from “Hands Off NY Care,” an outside group that tried to block the NYC Employees PPO plan. Fueled by over $1.4 million in dark money, the case was a direct attack on the premium-free healthcare Unity Caucus members fought for and won. That effort has now failed. The ruling keeps five years of premium-free coverage on track, expands access to providers across the tri-state area, and secures real benefit improvements.

Unity said it in November and it holds true today: we will always defend our members’ healthcare. Every outside attempt to roll back these gains has failed because our union stands strong and united. Unity will continue protecting these benefits and making sure the city lives up to their responsibility to provide UFT members in the DoE with high-quality, premium free healthcare.
