UNITED WE WILL PREVAIL ... DIVIDED WE WILL FAIL
The Alliance of Public Retiree Organizations of New York was founded in 1991, as a organized and highly recognized coalition of a majority of all the statewide retiree organizations, comprised of New York State public retirees from all public service agencies and positions of every employment level .
A large portion of our Alliance retiree organizations are retired Police Officers, Sergeants, Lieutenants, Detectives and former New York State Troopers who spent their careers "protecting and serving " all the citizens of New York State. Now the Alliance works very hard to serve them by protecting their pensions, benefits and health insurance benefits legislatively.
Retired Firefighters also comprise a large portion of our Alliance retiree member organizations. These brave men and women risk their lives responding to life threatening emergencies that everyone else run from. The Alliance honors and works very hard for firefighters legislatively.
