ATU Presents Counter Offer to TriMet

Today, December 12, 2013, the ATU bargaining team presented a partial counter offer to TriMet’s draconian changes. “We are presenting our counterproposal for changes to Article 1, which is the general language, and to Article 2 which affects the operators,” said Bruce Hansen, president of ATU 757.
The Union also presented its economic position with the exception of its health and welfare proposal. “We could not present our health and welfare proposal because of a delay in getting information from TriMet’s health insurance carriers. Some documents came in as late as December 9th and we are still awaiting others. That meant we could not formulate our counter to TriMet’s insurance proposal. We are hopeful that we will have a health and welfare counter to present on Tuesday, December 17, 2013,” said Hansen.

Somebody needs to translate this cause I can't make heads or tails out of it. I know one thing though, retirees are as screwed as current employees are on the health care stuff, I do not like that!
