The company’s acts are in violation of article 26: health and welfare. Although they are allowed to change carriers, self-insure, or modify its insurance program, all employees should be included. The article states “the company will offer insurance benefit options to eligible bargaining unit employees in the same manner as its non-bargaining unit employees.” The union can file a grievance based on non-enrollment of non-bargaining employees since the contract clearly states that all members should be covered. The union needs to prove that the company did not include the non-bargaining employees and use this article to support their argument.
