[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1194975, member: 17969"] That isnt what the MOU was designed to do. It was NEVER to secure "SUPERIOR" HC. You will NOT find the words "better", "Superior", "increased", "higher" and in fact it , the MOU says the opposite. The MOU's [B][U]only [/U][/B]instruction to the west/southwest was to find a Plan that was Equal to the C6 plan that was "initially" offered at the same price per employee that was spent by the C6. We can find a better plan all day long here in the southwest, but we cant find a better plan for the same price that the C6 was spending on those already on that plan. Because of the NO vote, the IBT and the Trustees of the C6 plan had to "increase" the amount of money spent on the new employees plan to the levels they currently had "voiding" that part of the MOU. You cant buy the same plan for less money. Out here, our UPS plan costs $18992.94 a year and the C6 plan costs a little over 12,000 for less coverage along with higher deductibles and copays. The CSH&W was going to take our $18992.94 allocation and give us (in the west) a 12,000 plan and use the remainder to shore up underfunding issues at CSH&W. This "miraculous" change to plans that "equal" what "we" in the west have is nothing more than the CSH&W using ALL of our allocated monies and buying us the same coverage for 4 years and then starting the change in year 5 with deductibles. There really is nothing to celebrate here other than having the same coverage for 5 years and then waiting for the reductions to follow as the years pass and the CSH&W begin to reduce benefit levels. That MOU is still dangerous and there is nothing positive about it. It still contains this " nothing in this agreement shall preclude the CSH&W from changing employee benefits". Hypothetically speaking, 6 months after the ink is dry on the contract, the trustees of the CSH&W can reduce the plan back to where it was first initially offered to us. There is no Guarantee that benefit levels will remain the same over the duration of this contract. While you celebrate the "insight" of the IBT, others like myself are thinking outside the box and preparing for the worse. Think about it. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
