APWU Slashes Employees’ Costs
For Consumer Driven Health Plan
APWU News Bulletin #10-2007, Sept. 18, 2007
APWU members who enroll in the Consumer Driven Health Plan will pay much lower premiums for health insurance
in 2008, plan administrators announced Sept. 18. Union members will pay just $7.77 per pay period for self-only coverage,
and $17.48 for self-and-family coverage next year.
The new rates represent a reduction of $10.63 and $23.92 respectively, per pay period from 2007 fees.
“This is great news for APWU members,” said union President William Burrus. “Our members can
give themselves a nice raise simply by switching to — or staying in — the Consumer Driven Health Plan.”
Beginning in 2008, the union’s 2006-2010 Collective Bargaining Agreement requires the USPS to increase
the share of premiums it pays for the APWU Consumer Driver Health Plan to 95 percent, leaving only 5 percent of premium costs
to employees.
There will be a Health Fair at the Main Post Office at 180 E. Kellogg on 11/27/07 from 7-10 am and 2-5 pm. A sign
language interpreter will be available from 7-9 a.m. and from 3-5 pm
