Disputes over AT&T Retiree Health Care Continue to Grow
January 7, 2010 - The latest dispute surrounding retiree health care benefits deals with co-pay amounts. During bargaining, our Union’s bargaining team understood insurance co-pays would remain the same. If you retired between 1/1/93 and 4/3/04 your co pay should be $30. If you retired after 4/4/04, your co-pay should be $20. AT&T management maintains all co-pays are $30 regardless of when you retired. On Monday, January 4th, AT&T denied our claims! [More]
