Proposed NYSHIP cuts! Action needed!
An opening proposal is being share by NY state, directed specifically at United University Professions (UUP), which represents faculty and staff within the SUNY system.
Just as importantly, UUP has already stated publicly that they do not accept this proposal and intend to fight to retain access to these benefits. That matters.
What this means is that we are in an active negotiation window—and this is exactly when input can make a difference.
Patients, if you, your friends or family are UUP members please share with your union reps the impact that massage has on you and your health. Real patient voices carry weight in these decisions. The infographic shared by our biller is a great way to get the conversation started.
For those who are not UUP members, there are still ways to support broader efforts please consider signing the petition:
