Special
Notice to ILWU members
All
Group Health ILWU members are hereby notified that any and all charges for
"over the counter drugs" are no longer allowed.
For
several months Seattle Group Health has been charging ILWU patients for
those drugs in violation of our contractual agreement with the PMA that
covers all health care costs for all members. Due to action by the Seattle
Pensioners Club in protest, Group Health backed off and notified all Group
Health offices to discontinue all charges for "over the counter"
drugs.
In
addition, if you have paid for such prescriptions and have receipts Group
Health will reimburse you in full.
This
stands as an example of rank and file action to enforce the rights of
membership for which our union is famous.
