I can remember when all we paid was 200/month and $20 copay

400/month just for the insurance, each person has 1250 deductible each before the insurance kicks in this 80/20 rule. Does anyone have any other comparison to a different plant or refinery? Not taking sides, do I think it should be better, YES!! Especially since it's been getting worse and worse. Just doing a little venting on here and sharing my opinions on here.

As far as our insurance, 80/20 is what we have here also, sounds good, but when you have to pay about $400/month just for insurance, then 1250 deductible per person. In my case a family of 4... I have to pay $9000 year then my insurance kicks in this 80/20. Every year or two the premiums keep going up.
On a different note, word is our salary guys are reporting to texas in a few days, they seem excited, which is sad, most if the names we hear are volunteers so it's not like they were forced.

Not misinformed, spreading the facts! Our fatigue policy only affects hourly employees and not salary. Because that would affect there bonus. I'm not for the fatique policy, but if we have to follow it makes it the same across the board, that's taking money from our pockets and back in te salary pockets. That's a FACT!!

Supervision here gets paid for every hour they work over there regular scheduled day but he had to work 14 straight in a row to be included in the bonus plan. So if the salary people get included in the fatigue policy there goes that overtime they make. They get paid straight time for every hour they work plus there weekly salary. You want a salary job come apply, as far as USW, Come on in!!

Probably right, you'll be the one crossing the picket lines for what your elders and fathers built. Your part of the problem, when your out there tuning a valve or swapping a pump, post a selfie for us to see.

Not jealous at all diesel, if you think it's fair to work for a place and have things constantly taking away, then don't complain when the government wants to take your guns. As far as insurance, heck yea I feel I deserve this after I retire, if you think you don't deserve nothing, you should expect more for yourself.

I've got no problem with a fatigue policy for safety, but make it fair and include your salary people too!!! They are the ones that make the important decisions supposedly. Since our expansion, a lot of young people took salary over the senior people who out time in building this refinery, that's so they can groom them and brain wash them to there way of thinking. So you have a 25 year old telling and 50 year old to go climb in a rack and close a valve or wash down your unit. all I can saw to my fellow employees is to stick together so they can stop taking away what we used to have. the salary bonus plan was changed lst year and they are giving a minimum of 25k in bonuses to salary guys every year.

Well, I'm speaking from experience. This fatigue policy has nothing to do with safety. If that was the case this fatigue policy would be included for all employees!! The fatigue policy does not affect salary personal because it will affect their bonus payout program!!! Our facility is non Union, but I hope they make a big Union push over here. I've been here for 20+ Years and we've always been told we get paid slightly more than other local refiners to keep the union out, turns out were like 8th or 9th place. IF YOU APPLY FOR A JOB FOR MARATHON you WILL NOT get insurance after you retire, they cut that out like 6 years ago!! Plus they changed our retirement plan...I've been here for awhile and I'm loosing 275k just in my retirement, so you can imagine how much less a new hire will get in his/her retirement plan!!
