Have a Heart Healthcare Online Vote: April 29 from 10am to 4pm

Have a Heart Healthcare Online Vote:
April 29 from 10am to 4pm

As a part of our union contract, we have set a limit on healthcare cost increases year to year of 10% (5% shared by the Employer, 5% shared by union members). Our healthcare costs have increased 12.3% (2.3% more than our contract covers). Members in good standing are encourage to participate in this online vote to maintain our existing healthcare coverage. Voting yes would increase the healthcare cost on employees an additional 2.3% on top of what the contract covers and would ensure we can maintain the existing coverage in our healthcare plan.

If you wish to participate in this vote by casting your ballot online, be sure to update your personal information, including your current email address here: ufcw3000.org/update-your-information.

The online voting portal system will be open Wednesday, April 29 at 10am and close that same day at 4pm. On April 29, eligible members will receive an email that contains their unique log in and password and a link to the secure election page. Once logged in, members will be able to review the vote materials and proposed changes before casting their ballot.

If you do not receive an email, please call Dominick Ojeda at (360) 409-0595 to receive a new ballot.

If you have any questions about the vote, please reach out to your union representative.

We are back at the bargaining table soon with Have a Heart, where we are planning to addressing the healthcare cost sharing language, staffing and scheduling concerns, and wages. If you’re interested in getting involved in the bargaining process, reach out to your union representative.
