The coalition is working with several Union health and welfare funds to finalize a proposal for healthcare to the Red Cross.

Teamsters are bargaining in separate bargaining sessions with Red Cross and have reached a settlement on their contract. The Teamster agreement provides for a 3% raise, retroactive pay back to September, Teamcare Health Care with a 6% increase in rate every year of a three year contract, auto enrollment to the current 401K plan along with language changes similar to the agreements made with the coalition.
