State employee Unions rejected a request to renegotiate the health benefits

Posted on January 26, 2012 by admin

A coalition of unions representing State workers have sent gov. Chris Gregoire a letter saying "enough is enough," they will not renegotiate the agreement to their health.

Gregoire's Office, citing a budget shortfall of $ 2 billion, has asked the Government to represent the Union of workers to reopen the Treaty "in order to negotiate a reduction in employer premium contributions."

The unions responded with a letter Thursday that note they've agreed to pay cuts and an increase in the cost of their health premiums.

"It's time for other organizations that benefit from the State budget to embrace fair concessions as well," stated the letter. Union leaders have been calling on lawmakers to eliminate tax exemptions which benefit the company.

The Governor negotiated a deal late last year with a Trade Union that requires State employees to pay 15 percent of health insurance premiums, with the State paying the rest. Earlier, workers pay 12 percent of the premiums paid and the State's 88 percent.
