We hear...THAT a Long Island fire door contract for members of Local 2790 has expired recently, which was under the hollow metal door fund.

An informed source said, that members under the contract were under two different heath benefit plans. "Plan B" which is an hourly contribution plan, and "Plan A" , which is a flat monthly contribution plan.

Contractor bosses want to move all workers into "Plan A" to save money, and the worker's want everyone in "Plan B" and they we're willing to strike for it.

Informed sources say, that DC Vice President Mike Cavanaugh, allegedly signed an agreement without delegate body approval, that keeps everyone in their existing health plans, but gives employees (who happen to be in the better "Plan B") the option of going in the lesser "Plan A.

The option involves that, in-exchange for workers joining the cheaper benefit plan, the contractor bosses will pay those employees a $1000 bonus as an incentive to join the "Plan A" benefit plan.
 
"The DC has circumvented the delegates and is letting the boss payoff workers to throw away their future," the informed source said.

The 100-member Delegate Body is expected to meet tomorrow, and upset local 2790 delegates are expected to discuss and debate the seriousness of the situation. Story still developing...stay tuned.
