We are currently within the cycle of bargaining the health insurance plan for all state employees. Because everyone participates in the same plan, bargaining is done as a coalition with all of the other state unions. We are pushing a package that makes the insurance more valuable to our members and their families. While it’s too soon to know exactly where we will land (your humble author is writing this in a break at the bargaining session), Union proposals are moving forward to enhance benefits and solve challenges to gaps and barriers to proper coverage. More to come!
