The worst!!!! Disgusting, unfriendly and unprofessional. Every time I call the union office i pay union dues for, I have to deal with the someone’s nasty attitude. the DC 37 disability department hangs up on me continually. It’s beyond frustrating to have to speak with anyone. Every day that I call They give me different information .if you need help, instead of assisting you, they discourage you more, who's protecting my rights,

Very disappointed with the service, I pay dues for no reason. getting dues from employee but working for employer. Corruption at its best. When I call to ask help/questions I am treated as passing a ball, feel as if we do not matter We are paying dues so that management can enjoy them life.

THE WORSTTT!!! Every time I call I have to deal with someone’s nasty attitude, getting hung up on or receiving conflicting information. It’s beyond frustrating to have to speak with anyone. Of course it’s not everyone but I’ve literally only had about two people that were polite and willing to help me with whatever I needed. It’s not right for the call center employees to take their frustrations out on people they’re supposed to be HELPING! Trash the entire staff and start all over 🙄 or pay/treat them better! Whatever the issue is, someone needs to FIX IT! If I could give this 0 stars I most definitely would.

Not EMPLOYEES but definitely EMPLOYER'S Union since it clearly and openly serves the City's interests, not the city workers. Corruption at its best.

Questions & Answers

My father in law passed away he was a member for Dc37 he worked for Department design construction what do we need to do

Jose Gonzalez | Oct 22, 2018
M A | Oct 22, 2018

Would likely need to reach out to many places to report his passing away and provide w/ original DC as proof. Idk about the union (i.e. these ppl here) but the nyc retirement systems (there are a few) ask for date of death and place of death, but reach out w/ ss# to see if he was a member of any.

I have an elderly aunt who is a member. She's getting up in age but with a mind to plan her own funeral...shes 95. Any way, I wonder what benefits are afforded your members when they pass on. Who can I speak with please?

Want to retire how do I go about it

Zina costa | Oct 22, 2018
M A | Oct 22, 2018

They are the union, you would likely contact these ppl for health benefits, legal services etc. but you need to first find out which pension system you are a part of. NYSLERS (New York State & Local Employees Retirement Sys), NYCERS (New York City Employees Retirement Sys), BERS (Board of Education Retirement System), TRS (Teachers Retirement)...there are others also, maybe look on your pay stub for any abbreviations and then do a search for their contact number

Is there a way to email DC37? I have called twice and been directed to answer machines for two different people neither of whom has called me back.

Paulmichael Kazas | Oct 21, 2020

I would propose that you go through your Chapter and Local representatives. Itemize your requests and they can connect you with a representative from the proper unit within District Council 37 who should be able to respond to your concerns. Dr. Paul-Michael Kazas President Chapter 37, Local 375

Leonel Barragán | Oct 22, 2019

Try calling DC37 first because they have "temporarily" moved out to 55 Water Street, MH due to long term renovations at 125 Barclay Street. Visit their website also for more information.

If I worked for the city about 30 years ago but never rolled over my pension. Can I get that now due to working for the city again.

Dea Mc | Oct 22, 2019

Karen Boykin | Oct 21, 2020
Leonel Barragán | Oct 21, 2020

Check with NYCERS and nyc.gov/deferredcomp for your earned pension, benefits and deferred compensation first, so that portion of your retirement is in order. Once done with that contact DC37 for your health insurance, prescriptions, etc. Look up your local and chapter in DC37's website for additional information. Don't forget to take advantage of their education fund. Enjoy your retirement!

Do I get reimbursement of medical and pharmacy co-pay co-pays. Out of pocket?

My father past away ,and he work for Coney Island hospital...Through the DC 37 death benefit...is 2,000 a correct amount to receive? I thought it would have been more and more like a life insurance plan.. and how would I find out.

Jesse Quintana | Oct 22, 2019
Leonel Barragán | Oct 22, 2019

Make an appointment over the telephone. It's better in person. If not successful with DC37, go to NYCERS at Jay Street, Downtown Brooklyn, with all your applicable paperwork and identifications. On a few weekdays, they are open late until 7 PM: https://mynycers.nycers.org/MyNYCERS/ Be grateful to all of us here for helping you and say thank yous and click likes. Politeness goes a long way anywhere!

My aunt has a step 1a hearing at the hospital where she works what the that mean

Jose Santana | Oct 22, 2019
Janzel Devonish | Oct 22, 2019

It means she is being brought up on charges by the Agency. This is the first step in the disciplinary process. Its usually a meeting with your supervisor or manager. That is unless she had already had step 1,2 and 3 with the supervisor. That is more serious and can lead to termination or just a lost of pay.

I just found out I’m being Garnished by NYS TAXATION they sent no notice or anything. Do DC37 help with this

Maxine Jones | Oct 22, 2019
Santo Tripoli | Oct 22, 2019

That's strange, you should have gotten notices from the IRS and the NYS Dept. Of Taxation and Finance. DC 37 should be able to advise you at least point you in the right direction of a financial adviser. Remember they can garnish your pay check, (I think)you need to find out how much you owe in back taxes. online www.tax.ny.gov or phone 518 457 5434. You should have gotten a letter because you need your pin number. I hope this helps. Try 518 457 3280 and they will mail you a statement if your rights. For an informal protest call 518 457 6133. Good luck!
