Across the U.S.,  healthcare costs have been rising rapidly and are projected to continue growing.  It’s no surprise that medical coverage is a top issue in contract negotiations.  Local 812 is no exception.  
 
As costs rise, most American workers pay a greater share of the costs through higher deductibles, co-pays and co-insurance.  In many cases, these higher employee costs negate any wage gains.  Many families have also lost entire categories of benefits, such as dental, vision and hearing, as well as retiree benefits.

But not Local 812 members.
