Negotiate Away Benefits - Then Sell Insurance

[TWU informer]

Just as has happened with the TWU in the past, within days of ratification of a tentative agreement that elminates company provided insurance benefits, the TWU becomes an insurance agent, selling that which they just negotiated away. Got to love Industrial Union/Insurance Providers

I expected something like this for the retiree medical. Set up in such a way that the cost would be roughly whatever your refund was.

Yea I saw the flyers today. How nice of them to be able to provide themselves an opportunity to make money at our loss.

Union Benefit Planners, Inc.


August 13, 2012

The TWU and Union Benefit Planners (UBP) has created a process for selecting affordable medical alternatives for those Members that may lose their medical insurance either because of a RIF or the elimination of the Retiree Medical Benefits.
We have made available a website www.twubenefits.com with which each individual can shop and compare different medical insurance plans and choose one that fits their specific needs. As part of this service, there will also be a “Care Advocate” available to everyone using the service that’ll be there with you to assure all your concerns and questions are addressed.
The members may call our Enroll Assist Line: 866-978-2032.
Weekdays 7A – 11P Central
Sat 9A-6P Central
(Extended Hours for 8/9 – 8/11)

Additional services for members with Union Sponsored Benefits:
You have the option of continuing TWU provided benefits including:

• Term Life Insurance (must have continual coverage for 6 months to continue)
• Accident Insurance
• Critical Illness Insurance
• Whole Life Insurance

Pass it on...

They are providing care advocates. Too bad they don't provide member negotiations advocates.
