Health Assessments. To be eligible for a premium discount, employee and their enrolled spouses/partners are required to complete the online Health Assessment. The assessment gives a health score indicating potential for improvement and recommendations for action. The recommendations are called “Journeys”. • Journeys – Employee can earn cardio credits by taking a journey. A journey is a personalized online tool to help individuals engage in activities and track progress towards their health goals. Journeys focus on nutrition, weight management, physical activity and better management of chronic conditions. • Cardio Credits - Employees will have an opportunity to qualify for a discount on medical plan premiums by earning cardio credits. One cardio credit is equal to one dollar. The health assessment is required to be completed by the employee and spouse or partner every year to be eligible for a discount. The health screening is also required to be completed by the employee every year to be eligible for a discount. o The 2014 year: The employee must earn 750 cardio credits by completing: 1) health screening to learn their numbers (required), 2) complete the online health assessment (500 cardio credits) and 3) earn the remaining 250 cardio credits either though journeys or by participating in Quit for Life® tobacco cessation program or Weight Watchers®. These 750 cardio credits will be required to receive the 2015 premium discount of $750. In addition the spouse or partner must complete the health assessment. o The 2015 – 2017: Employees must complete a health screening, and be within a healthy range or make progress towards the healthy ranges, and a health assessment. If the employee is not within a healthy range, then they can earn cardio credits through actions outlined in the table below. As long as the employee completed the health screening and the health assessment (and if applicable, your spouse or partner has completed the health assessment), the cardio credits you earn will then be applied to the standard premium the following year up to the maximum discount amount. In some circumstances it might not be medically advisable for a participant to be within the healthy range. So to earn cardio credits, the Health care provider form will allow the participant and their health care team to determine the best course of action. The online health assessment, journeys and point tracking will be available through a new wellness website that will launch in 2014.

Therefore, I request that a union representative be present on my behalf before this proceeding continues. If you insist that the proceeding continue without allowing me union representation, I hereby protest your denial of rights guaranteed to me under federal labor law.” Because you have a union, you have a voice at work. A negotiating committee of union members and staff negotiate with management—as equals— over wages, benefits, working conditions, and other issues. The union committee pushes for the issues that union members choose. The result of negotiations is a proposed contract which members vote on before it takes effect. Right to Union Representation Every union member has the right to union representation during an investigatory interview that could lead to discipline. This is called your “Xxxxxxxxxx” right, after a Supreme Court case which established the right to representation. Just Cause for Discipline Know Your Rights: • Fair Treatment and Respect • Family and Medical Leave • Union Representation Learn more about your rights: xxx.xxxx00.xxx The just cause provision in your union contract ensures you have due process in cases of discipline. The just cause standard is a well-defined set of legal rules that involve several different “tests” of a disciplinary action. The tests of just cause provide considerable protection against retaliation, discrimination, or other unfair actions. The Security of a Union Contract As a union member, your wages and working conditions are spelled out in writing in a legally- binding union contract. You are not alone at the workplace—instead, you have the security of knowing that your rights are protected by your union contract and backed up by the 46,000 other members of UFCW 21.
