FACT CHECKING TRIMET'S 'FACT CHECKS'- PAID LIFE INSURANCE

Fact: This claim comes in a chart entitled “Pension Class Comparison” which may confuse the reader about whether this is retiree or active employee life insurance, or both. Retiree life insurance for union employees is $10,000 and non-union employees (including executives) receive $7,500. Active employee life insurance for union employees is $25,000 and the coverage for all non-union employees is $150,000.  In addition, executives and the general manager have group supplemental life insurance coverage of $500,000.

Active employee life insurance for union employees is $25,000 

coverage for all non-union employees is $150,000.   

In addition, executives and the general manager have group supplemental life insurance coverage of $500,000.

Is this Trimet's idea of a defense of their obviously discriminatory life insurance coverages?
