Tri-Met Board Approves A New Contract
And it looks as though they got what they were after: a complete re-do of health-care benefits for retirees.
Tri-Met can certainly alter the terms of the contract for existing employees, but they don't get to alter the terms for retirees. If I were one, I'd get together with others and file a class-action lawsuit against these six-figure Tri-Met "managers".
It requires current and retired union members to pay a portion of their health care premiums and make co-payments for services.
Oh boy, this one's bound to head into the courts. I'm not going to
argue about whether or not the health-care part of the deal was too
generous; that's not the point. These dorks signed a contract, and
nobody held a gun to their heads. People who worked for the development
agency under the terms of that contract have every right to see it
upheld.Tri-Met can certainly alter the terms of the contract for existing employees, but they don't get to alter the terms for retirees. If I were one, I'd get together with others and file a class-action lawsuit against these six-figure Tri-Met "managers".
