Countdown To Representation
One Day Until Fleet Service Vote!
Retiree Medical

According to a Delta informational sheet dated 12/01/2009, the monthly rate for PMDL retiree medical insurance for the Gold HRA is $624.47 for employee only. For PMNW - IAM retirees the rate for PPO Option B is $195.83. This represents a savings of $5743.68 per year for IAM represented retirees. For employee and spouse the Gold HRA retiree rate is $1248.94 per month. The retiree rate for PPO Option B for employee and spouse is $422.74. This is a savings of $9904.40 per year for an IAM retiree and spouse. Ed Bastian stated publicly that Delta will not continue to subsidize retiree medical if employees lose IAM representation. For employees that desire to retire before their 65th birthday Retiree Medical is not an option, its a necessity!

It pays to vote union, VOTE IAM!
