As chair of Staff Alliance I meet regularly with President Gamble and
last Friday, November 30 our discussion centered around concerns
regarding the impact of no longer allowing employees to opt out of the
health care benefit in FY14. I am pleased to announce that because of
the concerns we’ve raised, President Gamble intends to call for more
discussion and numbers on the issue. He indicated that yes, Donald Smith
will begin reviewing how to make this change to the health plan but
that the decision is NOT FINAL YET.
Thank you for your input! Please continue to make comments here or
email your governance leaders directly on the proposed changes to our
health care plan mentioned in previous posts.
