MEMORr1NDUM OF AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL
AND
THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MACHINISTS #77
This Memoranduxn of Agreement (hereinafter "MOA") is entered into by the City of
Saint Paul (hereinafter "City") and the Intemational Association of Machinists District
Lodge #77 (hereinafter "Union") for the purpose of defining Union member's retiree
health insurance benefits effective January 1, 2006, if a new collective bargaining
agreement is not reached prior to January 1, 2006.
The City and Union agree to the following:
This MOU is necessary due to changes in City offered health insurance plans
for 2006.
•
2. The Union is part of a coalition of unions on a Labor Management Committee
making recommendations regarding the structure of the City offered health
insurance plans.
3. The Tentative Agreement on Consensus recommended adding a High
Deductible Plan.
4. The premium of the High Deductible Plan is sigmficantly less than other
Health Plans offered by the City.
5. The language of Article 14.2 & 143 of the collective bazgaining agreement
provides that employees hired prior to January 1, 2004, who are eligible for
retiree health insurance, shall receive the fu11 cost of the least expensive single
premium offered by the City.
6. The Consensus agreement of the Labor-Management Committee would
negatively impact members of the bargaining unit who retire under the terms
of the current collective bargaining agreement because the least expensive
premium will now be that of the High Deductible ($331.75 per month),
effective Januazy 1, 2006.
7. In order to hold employees harxnless, the City and Union agree that the
language of Article 14.2 & 143 shall refer to the $500 Deductible Plan and its
premium of $409.49 per month.
8. This MOA will remain in place until a successar agreement to the 2004 —
2005 collective bazgaining agreement is negotiated.
9. This MOA sets no precedent.
