THE CONTRACT RENEWAL DATE WAS JUNE 1, 2010 AND THE CARRIER IS REQUESTING AN INCREASE IN PREMIUM RATES. THE TRUSTEE’S HAVE ASKED THAT THE RATES REMAIN THE SAME WITH A REVIEW TO BE DONE IN SIX MONTHS WITH THE HOPE THAT THE EXPERIENCE WILL HAVE IMPROVED AND THE REQUESTED INCREASE WILL NOT BE NECESSARY AT THAT TIME.
Due to continuing rising costs in dental and health benefits the Carrier has requested a premium increase in the amount of $10.00 per person per month effective August 1/09. There has not been an increase in the premiums since April 1, 2006 and improvements were made to the dental, health and short term disability benefits in 2007 the Trustees have agreed to the increase along with improvements to the following benefits.
