A Snapshot of Coop Etiquette Over 65 and a Coop Member for at Least 20 Years? Retirement IS in Your Future By Anita J. Aboulafia iven the downturn of the economy, it has been widely reported that Americans who have reached retirement Gage are delaying their retirement.† The Park Slope Food Coop, on the other hand, is making it easier for longtime members to retire from their work shift. At the November 2008 General Meeting, a measure was passed allowing mem- bers who are at least 65 years old and have at least 20 full years of Coop work behind them to retire from their work- slots. Previously, Coop members could request a reprieve from their workslot duties upon reaching 75 years of age. According to Membership Coordinator Ellen Weinstat, “Most members eligible to retire are ambivalent about this policy because they like working here. And some of those eligible have continued working because they’re doing their partner’s shift.” She continued, “Interestingly, when I pull out the records of the people whom this policy affects, they PHOTO BY ROD MORRISON BY ROD PHOTO are, very often, the ones who are the most consistently More than 15 items on the express line and shopping in line is a no-no. working members.

  • Statement of the New York City Transit Riders Council To
    Testimony of the New York City Transit Riders Council to the Board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority on Proposed Fare Increases and Service Reductions The Marriott Hotel at the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn, N.Y. January 28, 2009 My name is Toya Williford and I am a member of the New York City Transit Riders Council (NYCTRC). The Council was created in 1981 to represent the users of the New York City Transit system and consists of fifteen volunteer members appointed by the Governor upon the recommendation of the Mayor, the Public Advocate and the five Borough Presidents. As representatives of transit riders in New York City we find the proposed fare increases and service cuts that are before you to be unacceptable. We also know that in the face of inadequate funding this Board has little choice but to propose substantial fare increases, but this reality does not make the fare increases any more acceptable. It is particularly offensive to hold paratransit customers, many of whom can scarcely afford their current cost of travel, hostage to a potential $6.00 fare. We have called and will continue to call forcefully upon our elected representatives to support new funding sources for the MTA that will ensure that these unacceptable fare increases will no longer be necessary. We demand that each MTA Board member does the same. The proposed fare increases under consideration are dire, but the proposed service cuts are even worse. Holding the line on fare increases isn't meaningful to the rider if a service he or she depends upon no longer exists, and this will be the situation for many transit users if these proposals are implemented.
