Today is July 21st, this afternoon the Union Negotiating Committee met with the Company on medical insurance and they still want to offer one carrier (Blue Cross/Blue Shield) only, with projected cost increases.
According to the Company 30% of the fringe benefits cost is medical insurance.
The Company is ignoring the Union’s proposal of more than one (1) carrier. This is no way to be competitive in today’s market. Tomorrow, July 22nd we are scheduled to meet at 9:00 a.m. to further discuss the Union’s Insurance proposal.
Show your Negotiating Committee support and let management know this is an important issue to you.
