NTU Update - December 21, 2018
Colleagues,
On behalf of the NTU Executive Board and Staff, we want to wish you all a restful Winter Recess. It has already been a difficult year in many ways, and as always, our members wen above and beyond to meet those challenges. Just a few quick updates:
Increase in Health Benefit Premiums
It was brought to our attention that Aetna has increased our health insurance premiums by 17.85%. We are meeting with NPS and the other union heads tomorrow to discuss this untimely increase further. It is important to note that this it wasn't a negotiated or negotiable change. In fact, we warned the then state-operated school board and Superintendent about Aetna in 2016 (see below emails). Short term savings were promised, but as we said at the time, "we hesitate to trust any claim [being] made by the district [about this change]."
