I would image they accepted this knowing that within a few years they will try to get out of offering health insurance to any employee.

They should extend the coverage to grandparents ,and our pets too,maybe even our next door neighbors If these are Company health plans,let them do what they want,But if these are Teamster health plans,there should be a vote by the membership on the subject,before the plan is bled dry.....Hmmmm! sneak attack, they're coming around the back door,sounds like the company is trying to pick up some brownie points for the next time they mention taking over the pension
