Unions Take Legislative Action in House & Senate to Change Health Fund for Public Employees

Proposed legislation to substantially reform the Employer Union Trust Fund (EUTF) has been introduced by Senator Dwight Takemine and Representative Roy Takumi. Supported by the legislation is the result of a joint effort by UHPA, HGEA, UPW, SHOPO, and Firefighters, designed to repair major problems in the operation of the EUTF and expand the rights of the public sector unions to bargain the health care benefits, premiums, and carriers, in addition to establishing the public employers’ contributions to the insurance selected by each public employee.
