What’s at Stake? Our Health Care and Contracts!
Our contracts set to expire on September 30 and the County has
ignored dozens of our proposals to improve jobs, increase efficiency,
deliver higher quality services and save the county money. Instead, the
Board of Supervisors continues to demand:
- A two-year contract that shifts the cost of health care onto the backs of workers.
- A “financial crisis” clause, which would allow the Supervisors to unilaterally declare a financial emergency and reopen our contracts to cut benefits and wages.
If the County freezes health care contributions, you could see
anywhere from $87 to $870 less in your paycheck per month depending on
your health care coverage.
