DETROIT — Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) shared Tuesday night that after several phone calls between BCBSM President & CEO Daniel J. Loepp and UAW International President Shawn Fain over the past week they have reached a tentative agreement.
The tentative contract would improve pay, benefits and job security for UAW-represented employees at BCBSM and Blue Care Network.
Once formalized, the agreement would also end the strike that began on Sept. 13.
“President Fain and I have agreed in principle on the construct of a new collective bargaining agreement that would deliver significant income and job security for our unionized workforce,” Loepp said. “On Wednesday, our bargaining teams will meet to formalize our agreement – bringing our employees one step closer to returning to work. I congratulate and thank President Fain for reaching out and working directly with me to get us to the starting line of the ratification process.”
