That better be for HMO plans ONLY. If they want a PPO or better, they should have to pay a lot more!!! I work for a large company considered to give good benefits. I pay 12% of my pay, not 1.2% for a PPO (and that is matching what the company pays). People I work with pay only 1.5% for an HMO. There is a huge cost difference. Offer HMO's ONLYat the taxpayers expense!!!!!

Why don't they just agree to 1.5% wage increase and 2.5% the last year? Because AFSCME gets a percentage of their income; therefore, they get more $$$. This union is a bunch of frauds who only care about themselves anymore. They work for a small period, month or two, every 4 to 5 years and continually get an income. What a crock!
