On this episode of the Stuck Nation Labor Radio Hour, we get an update from Marianne Pizzitola, retired FDNY EMT and head of the New York City Organization of Public Service Retirees, and trailblazing FDNY Captain Brenda Beckman who explain why hundreds of New York City retired civil servants will be converging on City Hall at Noon today to protest Mayor Adams forcing them into a privatized Aetna Medicare Advantage program, as well as the the threat the elimination of traditional Medicare poses to 9/11 survivors.
