Thank You I.B.E.W.

So, when I turned 65, my union retiree health benefits dropped both vision and dental. For almost 7 yrs I have been without and both my mouth and my eyes have suffered for it.
But, in the mail on Monday was a notice that the union will be restarting those benefits come January.
This is the best news I have received in a very long time. And in these times, way beyond unexpected.
I know this is a personal thing, but it is such good news that I had to share it with you.
Carry on.

Honestly Mark, that's great news, and not the type of thing that seems to happen in this day & age of less and less.
I just had the same thing happen with dental when I crossed over 65 in June. My medical benefits continue to include vision, but I worry about my choppers.
I've never been the most diligent of fellows in regards to taking care of my teeth, but now that money is on the line I've been trying more. Go figure.
So go crunch some ice or enjoy a jawbreaker Mark!

Congrats, Mark! I've never had dental insurance and only have insurance for my vision for stuff that can be billed as diabetic related. It's worked out somehow.

Great news. Never heard a bad thing from the journeymen I've known that served their apprenticeship through the IBEW.

When I retired I got a small pension from the state and my union provides a supplemental piece. Makes a huge difference.
