Union opposes changes to employee health plan

By Allie Lowe | January 17, 2008

Proposed reductions to healthcare benefits for retiring College faculty and staff members have drawn criticism from members of the Dartmouth division of the Service Employees' International Union, inciting a dispute that could lead to contentious contract renegotiations in the coming months. The plan, which has come under censure since it was announced this fall, is currently being altered after a period of staff and faculty review and will likely be finalized in February, Adam Keller, executive vice president for finance and administration at the College said. Earl Sweet, president of the College's division of the SEIU, the Local 560, said that Dartmouth would likely have trouble securing new contracts with the union if the finalized proposal is not deemed adequate by union members. The SEIU currently holds three contracts with the College -- one covering Safety and Security, one for staff at the Hanover Inn and one which covers other Dartmouth employees, including staff from Facilities, Operations & Management, the Dartmouth Dining Association, the Office of Residential Life, the Dartmouth Skiway and the Athletic Department, among others. The SEIU's current contracts with the College, set in 2004, expire on July 1, 2008. "[The College] may not be able to get a contract if they don't do something here," Sweet said.
