[QUOTE="Its_a_me, post: 5150317, member: 93115"] [B]It's not free insurance anymore[/B] (at least in the Central).....prior to 2018 it was, but it's now $200 a year (or $100 for individuals) in the form of deductibles...[B]that was a Hoffa giveback that started in 2018[/B] and continued in the "best contract ever." While the equivalent of $16.67 a month ($200/12 months) isn't anywhere near what other companies charge employees: it still is an added healthcare expense that once given away in contract negotiations isn't going back to the way it was. Even Teamcare is a give back compared to the old, old plan. What's worse is the one punch per week to keep healthcare that was kept secret and lied about by union leadership.
