By Card Credit Debt Debt Guide April 4, 2004 (AXcess News) Reno NV - Sounding more like the California grocers in the days leading up to that strike, SBC Communications (NYSE: SBC) is pleading poverty in wanting Communications Workers of America (CWA) union members to pay part of their health care benefits.

Moneysupermarket.com expert Steve Willey looks at how the credit card market has benefited from the current credit crunch...

Credit Repair Barbara Welling, CWA local 9413 President in Reno Nevada said, "SBC wants to shift the monthly cost of health care premiums to our employees, and retirees."While health care costs are a major concern to industry, since the California Grocers strike, corporate eyes have been paying close attention to those issues and how they're being handled. But few have attempted to include retirees. Even Safeway (NYSE: SWY) and Kroger (NYSE: KR) did not include retired workers.

Active Credit Credit Guide According to Welling SBC spends $7,000 per employee annually on health care premiums in a self-insured plan that's currently administered by United Health Care. The CWA itself has no say in negotiating the health benefit plan offered employees, nor in selecting its administrator, even though the plan itself is a self-insurer policy.

Bad Car Credit Guide Loan "Over the past ten years we've taken less wage increases and those extra monies were supposed to go into the monthly premiums of our health care, besides our paying higher co-pay, higher prescription costs." Wellings said. "So we've paid our premiums by taking less wages."The Company's proposal would cost workers more than $200 a month.

Credit Definition Derivative In San Antonio, SBC and CWA negotiators have not been able to complete negotiations and the two sides are said to be far apart on the key issues of health benefits, and the company's ability to 'outsource' jobs to foreign countries.

Bad Credit Mortgage Of the 175,000 SBC employee pool, the Communications Workers of America union members comprise over 102,000 of that number and if they cannot negotiate a new contract a strike could cripple the company.According to SBC Communications, in 2002 to 2003 revenue dropped $11 billion dollars due to shrinking landline residential business. But in the last year the company has become aggressive, expanding its broadband services and entering satellite television, Internet systems, and wireless fidelity, and is part owner of Cingular Wireless, the nation's largest cell phone company. When SBC entered the lucrative long distance market it was aided by grass roots lobbying efforts from its union members with local politicians. Now that SBC has been approved for long distance service, union members have grown concerned about whether the company will move jobs to a central location. Local 9413 wants assurances that members jobs are not eliminated in Nevada through any consolidation of those services.
