In some cases, unions and companies cannot negotiate new agreements which cut the health benefits of union members who retired under previous labor contracts. Still, some union members have claimed that they suffered a decrease in healthcare benefits after a new contract was negotiated. Under this new agreement, on which retired union members were not permitted to vote, active employee benefits were kept the same, but union retiree health benefits were cut, even though their premiums were not increasing. It has been alleged that union members who were reluctant to sign the new agreements, which decreased health benefits for retirees, were offered signing bonuses.
Retired union members who noticed a decrease in healthcare benefits may have legal recourse to seek compensation for expenses incurred as a result of the increased monthly premiums, out-of-pocket maximums, prescription medication costs, and co-pays.
