UTR ORGANIZING UPDATE- January 2012

Last week both UTR and WCCUSD released their initial contract proposals.  Below you will find links to each.  They were split into parts due to uploading issues. Please take time to become familiar with both.  The UTR bargaining team listened carefully to your input when creating the proposal.  It is a conceptual proposal which means the language is broad to allow for negotiations.  Unopened articles are not listed.  Questions and comments can be sent to bargaining@unitedteachersofrichmond.com.

Listed below are the newly revised monthly calculations of members’ out-of-pocket share(if any) for benefits effective January 1, 2012.  UTR was able to obtain a higher District Contribution level for each tier, through District cooperation and by insisting upon the latest data on benefit costs, after open enrollment.  This lowered our members’ monthly cost.  We will continue addressing increasing the District’s contribution for health care costs. (see table below)

UTR 2012 Employee Benefit Contribution FINAL

West Contra Costa USD’s maximum contribution for health benefits will be implemented on January 1, 2012, per below:

Single Plan:                               $610.44
Employee Plus One:                $957.00
Employee Plus Dependents:  $1237.00

As soon as the monthly calculations for employee share amounts are finalized by the district, we will be able to tell you what those costs will be.
