Donna Ristorucci Relies on The Advocate

To the Editor, Retiree Advocate:

Enclosed is a contribution to PSARA from the Retiree Division of Teamsters Local 237 in New York City. As the editor of Retiree News and Views, our monthly newsletter, I find The Retiree Advocate an invaluable source of information, analysis, and concrete suggestions for action. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve relied on your newsletter when writing articles about Social Security, Medicare, healthcare reform, and economic, political and social justice developments and struggles.

Our local, the largest Teamsters local in the country, represents 23,000 public employees in New York City and Long Island and 8,000 retirees. Retiree News and Views is mailed to our retirees, most of whom live in the New York area, but there are many who have relocated to other states as well – including Washington State. We also send it to our political representatives and organizations involved with retiree issues. Which is to say, The Retiree Advocate’s impact extends, indirectly, far beyond Puget Sound and Washington State.

Best wishes in solidarity,
Donna Ristorucci
