Retired and active teachers, please try to attend the Ohio State Teachers Retirement System meeting this Thursday, June 21. Please wear a black top to make it clear to the STRS Board you want your cost-of-living-adjustment restored. Let's make it clear that no teacher should have go five years without a COLA. The meeting will be held at the STRS building located at 275 E Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215. The meeting will start at 9:00 on the 6th floor. Please arrive before 10:00 in order to be seated in plenty of time for the public's allotted time to speak before the STRS Board. When the public participation proportion of the meeting is over, there will be a brief demonstration in front of the STRS building. This will be covered by the media. Keep sharing the petition www.restoreourcola.com with your contacts; if you are an Ohio STRS member, please join the Facebook Ohio STRS Member Only Forum. There is strength in numbers. A thank you for support goes out to all the Ohio Retirees' Chapters of OFT and to OFT. Support has also been received from ORTA (Ohio's Retired Teachers Association), ORTA county chapters, and Ohio's AAUP (American Association of University Professors). Again, thank you and let's get our COLA restored.
