700,The healthcare is percentages paid.
LAA pays 21% of the total cost.
The lowest LUS pays is 14% of the total cost.
So no one is losing their healthcare, the percentage of cost is the issue.
LUS IAM percentage costs survived three rounds of concessions in two separate chapter 11 bankruptcies, A JCBA with HP and a stand alone Section 6 CBA in 2014.
There is no reason why the percentage can’t stay the same or meet in the middle.
This percentage stayed the same for the IAM, while. ALPA, AFA, CWA/IBT and the TWU at US all paid higher premiums than the IAM.
It seems your taking enjoyment if the IAM members have to pay more, I hope I’m wrong.
I believe the scope will be blended and it should increase work, not lose it.
Easy for you to say meet in the middle. Why would we have to meet in the middle....no reason.
At any rate, it gone. My guess is that mr baskett and the other bullchitters know this but i cant keep them from lying and claiming they arent giving up health care. Sito may not have informed them though.
The company will most definately start taking additional things off the table. The iam will lose alot of work if this goes to section 6. Half of phl is work being done outside our scope, and some clt work.
