Our company consists of managers, confidential employees (not management and not in a bargaining unit) and union. We are self-insured for health insurance. Pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement, we provide family coverage at a blended rate (meaning everyone pays the same regardless of whether single or family). The agreement provides an amount to be contributed by the company, with the remainder paid by the employees. The cost of coverage is increasing dramatically. We want to provide an employee-only option to keep the costs down for those who don't need family coverage or who can get their families covered at less cost elsewhere, but our unions won't agree to it. Is there anything wrong with offering this employee-only option to management and confidential employees who are not covered by the collective bargaining agreement?
