Brian Mark Taylor Union contracts (continued from page 7) reiterated that the borough has the right to change its medical plan for employees without the agreement of the unions, but he emphasized that ASFCME and the PBA had agreed to all the terms of the contract, including the move to the BMed plan. ASFCME President John Keene told the council he was very upset with the negotiations and felt he was forced into taking the contract with the BMed plan because he was told that the PBA members had already agreed to their contact. Keene acknowledged that he did agree to the new contract, but with the contingency that the borough would stay with the state health care plan and, if not, there would be a different contract. Borough Attorney Richard Lustgarten pointed out to Keene that the switch of medical plans was an integral part of the contract agreement and if that is not acceptable to his union then the council would have to reconsider the loss of the benefit to the borough by switching to the BMed plan. He said the switch to the BMed plan was not negotiable, and the agreement with ASFCME was not based on an either/or option because the switch to the BMed plan triggers the rest of the agreement. Mayor Frank Bivona said he thought there was an agreement with the ASFCME. “We negotiated with both parties and shook hands on an agreement,” Bivona said. He told Keene that, if the agreement with the switch to the BMed plan is no longer acceptable to ASFCME, the resolutions on the agenda would have to be tabled and the two sides would have to talk about a new agreement. Several council members voiced concern about proceeding with the resolutions to change health care plans and ratify the collective bargaining agreements with both unions while there was an obvious objection to the agreement by the ASFCME membership and the PBA had not yet ratified their agreement. All the resolutions were tabled, and Keene agreed to have a meeting with his membership to discuss the terms of the agreement and the possible switch to the BMed plan and advise Hart of the outcome of that meeting.
