Central Co-Op - Health Care Update

After meeting to bargain over the healthcare plan, Central Co-op and the Union reached an agreement to switch to the UFCW National Fund Healthcare plan.  The Co-op has sent information to the new provider to make sure that the change takes place by July 1st.  The new plan has no cost increases to workers and provides the same level of benefits as previously provided.  

The next step is for the Fund prepare detailed benefit books for all eligible workers.  They will be sent out as soon as they are printed.

Anytime there is a switch in healthcare plans and providers, questions and concerns always arise.  Be sure to talk to your manager, shop steward, or union representative, Ariana Davis 206-436-6586 when they do.
