Supporting Your Family
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2020, 94% of all civilian workers who participated in their employers’ medical plans had to contribute part of the premium for family coverage. Annual employee contributions averaged $6,797. Those are just premiums. Pharmaceutical and premium costs have gone up 4-7% year over year, depending on the healthcare provider.
Employees are so used to having their health and wellness benefits contributions deducted from their check, they forget there is another way. When joining an organized, union-supported job, your only ‘healthcare’ responsibility is to pay your dues and work like you would in any other job. Your healthcare is paid for by your contractor/employer. And this isn’t just healthcare for you; it covers your whole family no matter what the size.
