The death benefit is negotiated. I strongly doubt that they can unilaterally take it off the table. While I agree that people should be vaccinated, this does sound like over-reach that would likely be struck down in a court challenge.NOTE: I suspect that the "chief people officer" is the woke title for the head of "human resources". Human resources sounds so cold and impersonal. |

You would have to read the fine print for this one. yes, the death benefit is negotiated but whoever administers it might have the final say. |

I think the article said it was negotiated through a certain date. Now that that period is over, they can change the terms - either unilaterally or via negotiations.subfan |

What I was trying to say was that, if you negotiate Death Benefits, you may not have a say in who gets what. One of the criteria for awarding injury or death benefits is past practice. COVID is a relatively new factor |

It is also possible to negotiate a separate "side agreement" the terms of which do not become permanently part of a CBA, and that is not uncommon in dealing with major issues that are considered likely to be temporary. It definitely has bearing on the likelihood of any possible litigation being successful. |

While I support the MTA putting strong pressure on its employees to get vaccinated, I don't support yanking life insurance coverage.The "moral hazard" life insurance provisions become a slippery slope. Where do you draw the line? Should employees lose their life insurance if they die in a mountain climbing accident? Because they smoked? Because they had a motorboat accident? |
