Health Insurance (Annual Deductible for Family Coverage): Take a 4% increase (currently $10,500+$420=$10,920-$400=$10,520 (fund will now pay $7,520 and employee pays $3,000)

*Note for Percentage Increases: According The Zinnia and Local H-56 website, it is expected that these rates increase (annual deductible for both employee and family coverage) by 5% this year if no changes are made.

Prescription Drugs: 100% after 1 copay of $30 (currently $15) for generic; 100% after 1 copay of $90 (currently $75) for name brand drug

Retirement

 

Defined Contribution Retirement Plan: A contribution retirement plan provides a fixed contribution made by the Employer. “At the start of this Agreement, the Employer shall contribute to the “Twin Cities Hotel Employers-Employees Defined Contribution Retirement Plan” (hereinafter the “Defined Contribution Plan”), at a rate of thirty five cents ($0.35) for each hour paid to each employee under the jurisdiction of this Agreement. This contribution will be increased to forty cents ($0.40) on this Agreement’s second anniversary.” -Contract

 

Since, it is the Agreement’s third anniversary we are negotiating a fifty cent ($0.50) contribution to employees’ retirement plans for each hour paid to each employee. Since, each year most of the employees are increasing in age and desire to contribute greater amounts to their retirement. Calculations are based off proposal wage increase percentage and the number of employees times the rate of contribution.
