Show Notes
AC Transit bus drivers and mechanics, backed by their unions, successfully halted managements plan to switch health insurance providers without bargaining. The agency aimed to move everyone to CalPERS plans to cut costs amid a deficit, but unions argued this violated their contracts. Workers shared personal stories about the importance of their current low-cost benefits, especially for those with chronic conditions. The GM paused the switch and agreed to meet with union leaders, but union reps insist healthcare must go through full negotiations.
