It's ridiculous the company is trying to pass it on to us.
This is the biggest concession put on the table IMO.
There's a lot of poor wording out there regarding the JCBA negotiations. After looking at it more, the company isn't looking to pass the tax on to us. It's looking to reduce the overall value of the health care plan to avoid getting taxed, and then to compensate us in some other way for the difference.
