Manhattan: Re “A surgical intervention” (editorial, Nov. 26): You got this all wrong. Yes, two courts decided Administrative Code 12-126 was interpreted correctly by my organization, the NYC Organization of Public Service Retirees. We earned and paid for the benefits we currently have and any changes should be negotiated by unions for their members, not for retirees they no longer represent. The court was clear with its interpretation of how retirees should be treated after years of committed service to this city.
