Selection of Health Care Plans Sample Clauses

Selection of Health Care Plans. The Employer may change hospitalization insurance plans and coverage levels, dental insurance plans and coverage levels, and vision insurance plans and coverage levels, including in each case, changes in deductibles, co-pays, and premium contributions, provided: (a) The plan(s) selected or changes made are at least equivalent to the plan(s) offered or changes made to the plan(s) of other union and non-union employees of the Employer. (b) The Employer first meets and negotiates with the Union over all changes to the plan(s) prior to the effective date of the changes. Should the parties be unable to agree on such changes, they shall first utilize the services of a state-appointed mediator before any changes are implemented. Any future increase in the premium co-pays associated with medical and health insurance benefits, above those recited in the terms of this Article, shall be tied directly to actual premium increases for such benefits incurred by the Employer and shall be assessed to the Employee in an amount not to exceed the sums established by the following formula: Employee contributions to increased premiums shall not exceed the sum represented by fifty (50%) percent of the premium increase, after three (3%) percent is first deducted. (Percentage increase less 3% divided by 2; for example, if the premium increases 9%, the Employer will pay the first 3% and one-half of the remaining 6%. Employees would pay the other one-half of the remainder, or 3%.) If any non-union or any other union employee formula provides for a different co-pay than the above formula, then the union has the option to elect between formulas. The Union agrees that the Health Care Coalition process satisfies the requirement to meet and negotiate as provided in paragraph (b) of this section.
