Proposed contract -by a union member who has really studied this
Guys,
Here is the proposed part (phase I) of the new contract that gets
to the heart of the new contract, retiree benefits (for the new hires after the
arbitration). So far we know that the retirees that were hired before the
arbitration, will receive a 90/10 in benefits upon retiring with 10yrs tenured
(of this I may be wrong), for the Blue Cross medical package and I guess 100%
from Kaiser. Since this according to the company is not the issue, going
forward, just the structure is, and then we need to come up with a way to
supplant their “standard” with one that is fair for both parties. Since their
contention is that a retiree should not get 100% paid medical for life, and
their spouse gets it 10-15 after they pass, this we need to work hard to get
something that will be equal and beneficial to those retiring after the
arbitration date. Here is what I found out, using the west coast transit
agencies, and laying out where we should be, considering that we are better
than those agencies:
