My small few ideas to help you come up of some of your own ideas.
Talking about MEBAC. The questions I have about S&A, and HSA usage.
Sorry for the delay in the latest episode. I had to hold off due to some changing information, and a concern about messaging.
I want to speak about the MCC and I was told to hold off while we craft a message. CUPE AB and CLC are having conferences. Looking forward to attending if I can.
Congrats to Robin, and Josh who were the only elected by ballot officers. The rest were acclaimed.
For information on the state of AB healthcare I would direct you to the Breakdown AB on youtube. If you want to sign the petition. Go to https://stateofemergency.ca/ to sign the petition. This is a CUPE AB initiative. Help them out!
Two elections. Big and Small. Treasurer is up. Two people running. Robin Orsulak and Brad Wilson. Robin is the incumbent and Brad is a current exec at large. Trustee has two Jaimie Domstad and Josh Dyck.
Going to spool up the podcast for season 9. 25 years with the City. This is going to be a fun year. Bargaining is coming.
My take on the Alberta politics. Wow.
Lets talk about the uniform clauses.
We will have elections starting in the new year. If you have your meetings in you will be eligible. With the upcoming meeting being a bargaining year, it will be a big election I am sure of it.
Dec 5, 2025. 4pm - 8pm. Should be a great time.
Online meetnigs are still not on the table. Not sure it will happen in 2026.
Call the hall and let them know you want online meetings.
Go to www.cityworker.ca if you are interested in seeing the video that matches with this episode. Claiming your HSA is easy and many don't know how to even do it. With the welness account coming figuring out how much you want to place in either account is important in maximizing your benefits with the employer.
It has been a while since the last video on this. Many have picked up how to do this and I am very happy to see people get...
I got my shot, and not even out of pocket. $119.89 at Costco. If you want it, you can know it was covered by a member with level 2 extended health coverage. Shame on the UCP for not covering it, but the employer has stepped up to the plate and covered it through the metrics availiable. Greenshield will pay for it without you even paying out of pocket. It's not 100% so be prepared for a small fee.
What happens when a government decides to stream roll through bad bills? You get a bunch of people talking recall and Gernal Strikes. What does that mean. In order for a general strike to even mean anything a bunch more industry and people have to get on board. Do we have it at this point? I don't know, but I am not sure we do. We need to get there and the UCP might be what we need to push it to a go level.
Only if you want it. Dependents welcome as well. It is unclear if you will have to get a perscription, but my information is that if you have level 2 coverage you will be able to get the covid booster or shot covered for resonable and customary charges. This is just another area that your benefits are making it easier to get the things the UCP won't cover.
Changes to your MEBAC Benefit Plan in 2026 You told us you wanted more...
