The tentative UAW Chrysler contract includes a clause likely to prompt renewed labor demands for national health insurance, a measure stalled in Congress for three years.
Chrysler agrees to pay the full cost of any taxes needed to fund a national health insurance plan for an auto worker and family. UAW president Leonard Woodcock pressed to include the clause in large contracts with GM, Ford, and others. If adopted broadly, about 1.5 million workers could be covered as the idea spreads to AFL-CIO and Teamsters unions.
Under a tentative Chrysler GAW deal, the employer would pay 3 percent of earnings toward national health insurance and the worker 1 percent up to 150 dollars annually. Chrysler argues current fringe benefits may be cheaper than national coverage, with potential savings passed to workers as enhanced retirement or legal insurance. The agreement requires Chrysler to cover any direct premiums or payroll taxes if national health insurance is enacted.
