When Dalton Bocknick and his pregnant wife arrived at the hospital for an emergency ultrasound, they were shocked to learn that GE had booted her from his health insurance
$13,000 is like a quarter of what I make a year.According to GE, the loss of dependents coverage is the result of an independent audit that took place over the course of 2021 to ensure participants were eligible for the company’s health plans. The Fortune 500 conglomerate argues that it repeatedly informed employees that an audit of dependents was taking place.
GE maintains that it twice extended the audit deadline and communicated “extensively and transparently” with employees about the request to participate in the process. Still, the union has filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board over the health cuts, arguing GE failed to bargain with the union before conducting the audit. Robert Holt, a lawyer for IUE-CWA, said that “it’s clear from the number of people impacted that [GE’s] notice wasn’t effective.”
Bocknick, a member of IUE-CWA Local 201, and who works on F414 fighter jet engines at GE, is adamant that he never received letters about the audit.
