Negotiations: Appendix E, Summary of Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits

Both AAUP-WSU and the administration wish to change Appendix E, Summary of Medical, Dental, and Vision Benefits. The administration submitted a proposed addition to the existing appendix E on April 4; see the right hand column of the table immediately below. For comparison, you may wish to view the entire current CBA and this article in particular.

Please note that the parties anticipate re-lettering the various appendices, so the current designation “Appendix E” for this appendix may well change.

For more about bargaining now under way toward a successor of our current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), please see our Negotiations page. There, you will find rosters of our Bargaining Council and Negotiating Team, a table showing the status of each article (those in the current CBA and new ones, too), and also reports about each negotiating session.

Please see our page on Article 26, Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance. for reports on negotiations about appendix E and other matters pertaining to medical, dental, and vision benefits.
