Bargaining incentive to pay off next round

Take Charge! Live Well! is a health and wellness program brought to you by the labor- management Joint Health Care Committee.

The program is designed to improve the overall health of employees and their families—and to help manage the cost of healthcare benefits.

OCSEA works on the Take Charge! Live Well! program because the union recognizes the impact medical and wellness programs can have at the bargaining table.

“This country is in the midst of a health care costs crisis, and the next round of contract negotiations will most likely reflect that. Prevention and management of chronic diseases has been proven to save money and benefit consumers,”said OCSEA President Eddie Parks.

“This program is not only good for the mind, body and soul but it will hopefully pay off with better results at the bargaining table.

“OCSEA members have always been willing to do their part to keep health care costs down, and this is the next logical step,” said Parks.
