Grievances, UHS Requesting Receipts, and P&! Steward Training

Bill, the grievance committee, our counsel and NYPA met for a final time to resolve all the grievances from the last contract. You can start to check your personal emails in a week or two for a letter notifying you of a grievance settlement answer. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the office. 

 

Please note that UHC has started requesting receipts for expenses paid using the FSA. This seems to be specific to dental/vision. Members are encouraged to save receipts and explanation of Benefits related to FSA spending. Also, make sure to monitor your paystubs to ensure that your 3.5% general wage increase that goes into effect on 8-1-25 is correct. 

 

P&I Steward Training and Advanced P&I Steward Training is tentatively planned for October 2025. We have 9 new Shop Stewards since the last training sessions and hope to have a great turnout again this time. More information to follow regarding the official dates and locations. 

 

Policy grievances have been sent to the company regarding the mishandling of the crane bus and the lead exposure issues at STL. We will continue to monitor this and ensure the safety and well-being of our members is of the utmost importance. We will try to keep everyone aware of the actions and measures that are taken with this process.
