Local 72 and the NYSTA Reach A Tentative Agreement

 
Local 72 is proud to announce that we have officially reached a tentative agreement with the NYSTA. The new agreement is a 4 year deal commencing July 1, 2008 and expiring June 30, 2012. The agreement calls for raises in each year as follows: 3%, 3%, 3% and 4%. Location pay was increased substantially and the Welfare Fund received over $1 million in additional funding. Further, existing employees gave absolutely nothing back. Comp time, major medical, prescription drug coverage, overtime, workday/workweek, check out time and so on remained unchanged. We believe this is the first time in the history of Local 72 that a tentative agreement was reached prior to the expiration of a current contract. Over a year of pre-negotiation preparation and political lobbying allowed us to not only get this unprecedented agreement, but to also get it in a timely fashion.


The ratification process will commence shortly. Please be sure that Local 72 has your updated address so that you will receive a ballot. Please contact your local Union rep if you have any questions.

Local 72 is pleased to announce the following changes to the Welfare Fund:

 
(1)  Step-children are now covered under the Local 72 Welfare Fund.  Eligibility for coverage under the Fund is the same as for the NYSTA's major medical program.  You will need to provide a birth certificate for the child and a marriage certificate between the member and the child's natural parent.
 
(2)  The life insurance benefit has been increased to $15,000.

Both changes will go into effect as of
March 1, 2009.  We are able to offer these new benefits as a result of efficient management of the Fund and the extra allowance negotiated in the most recent contract. Please contact your Local 72 representative if you need additional information. (posted2/09)

As of March 1, 2009 Davis Vision is now using your employee ID number instead of your #ss number....you will have to reregister online with your employee ID number to log in to the Davis Vision web site.(posted3/09)


PTTC Disability Increase and Prescription Program

Local 72 is pleased to announce that it has negotiated an increase to the PTTC Disability benefit from $120 per week to $200 per week.  The change is effective August 1, 2009.  Further, due to some recent questions, we wanted to remind PTTCs that we have negotiated a special low-cost prescription program for them through Express Scripts Inc. called “Rx Outreach”.  For more information, go to http://www.rxoutreach.com, or contact your Local 72 Business Agent.




           
$0 Co-Pays for Generics; Step-Children Covered

Local 72 is pleased to announce that ALL generic prescriptions for employees eligible for the Welfare Fund will be $0 from January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010.  Please take advantage of this special pricing and have NO out-of-pocket expenses for generic prescription medication.  Also, we just want to remind you that step-children are now covered under the Local 72 Welfare Fund.  Please contact your Local 72 Business Agent for if you need eligibility information.
