Meeting the Challenge of the Health Insurance Crisis at the Bargaining Table. Any union member who has been at the bargaining table the last ten years has faced the seemingly insurmountable challenge of health care insurance. How to maintain hard won benefits in an era when costs are rising by double digits has become the main issue in most labor negotiations.
For Union Staff, Officers, Health Care Committee, Bargaining Committee Members and other Union Leaders who are responsible for designing strategies to preserve and extend health benefits for the membership. We will address the changing world of health insurance and identify new approaches for the bargaining table. We will examine the national and state legislative changes, but the program will concentrate primarily on what can be done at the local bargaining table itself. Online Registration
