JCBA Negotiations and updates for AA Fleet

And BTW come to think about it. I can almost guarantee a bet looking at the years this plan has been in existence it's probably where your Union brought in the rate during your Bankruptcy at US that the Company matched?

The thought probably being to control costs by having as few agencies as possible administer the Medical plans you still continue to enjoy today where the old US still maintained some control on expenditures?

Slap any acronym you want on any product for all I give a damn, as long as I'm receiving a quality product at a good or reasonable price.

From the website Al.

What is a Multiemployer Benefit Trust Fund?
Unlike benefit programs that are sponsored and controlled by one employer for their own employees, a multiemployer benefit trust fund is a health fund that is created solely for the benefit of collectively bargained employees working for many employers. The fund is maintained pursuant to a trust agreement and one or more collective bargaining agreements. Employers negotiate the fund into the applicable collective bargaining agreement and agree to contribute to the fund at certain specified rates for the benefit plans that are negotiated (medical, dental, vision, etc.).

Multiemployer benefit trust funds are typically sponsored and administered by joint boards of both labor and management trustees representing participants from many organizations, usually within the same or related industries, and a labor union. These funds are often referred to as "Taft-Hartley funds."

The Taft-Hartley name refers to the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, also known as the Labor-Management Relations Act. The Act was passed by Congress to regulate organized labor practices and define standards for union pension and benefit funds. Taft-Hartley funds are often the only way a small employer can provide comprehensive health coverage to their employees in a cost effective manner, since such funds create cost-savings due to centralized administration and pooling of resources.

Because multiple employers contribute to the fund for their employees, the costs are shared and the risks are pooled. As a result, multiemployer plans can provide a competitive benefit for the same or better rate when compared to a single employer health plan. And since multiple employers participate in the same fund, employees can move among participating employers without losing coverage, although their benefit plans may differ based on each employer's collective bargaining agreement.

Well, it's own website isn't going to say "we suck" What happens if it becomes "underfunded". I'm done with multiemployer chit. The UA AMTs voted down the IBT plan it is probably similar

Jesus H man when is enough enough with all the crap of not even reading about something before you say I don't want it? It's sometimes like little kids where the Mommy has to shove the spoon past your lips for your own good cause you don't like Veggies.

And Al I haven't heard ONE person on your side of the fence say you hate your Medical. But you guys bash the S out of ours.

You really want ours instead?

Who the hell knows who's going to run it? And I guess people who actually have insurance that's not self insured by their Company aren't getting ripped off to death providing their services? WTF?

American Airlines is ripping us off right now. It's almost $600.00 per month out of pocket for the top Family plan and the Company is supposed to cover 80% of the total cost.

So you're telling me these plans are costing AA $3000.00 per month if nothing was subsidized? Give me an F'n break.

Why were UAL AMTs so adamantly opposed . The IBT is larger than the IAM therefor must have better rates. You've said it a million times the bigger the company.....
