KINGS & ACME ESTABLISHING A “THANK YOU BONUS”
As our Brothers and Sisters know, your Union is in constant communication with our Employers concerning any program for additional pay as the COVID-19 Pandemic continues and we work in more demanding and threatening conditions.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE ARE PROVIDING FREE COVID-19 TESTS
President Niccollai reported today that there are several sources from which individuals can obtain free COVID-19 tests. Late yesterday afternoon, both the United States Government and the Unites States Postal Service put up websites through which those seeking at-home tests could have them mailed to their residence.
The sites are as follows:
SUPREME COURT BLOCKS VAX OR TEST BIDEN MANDATE FOR ALL BUT HEALTH CARE WORKERS

HEALTH INSURANCE WILL REIMBURSE FOR AT-HOME COVID TESTS
President Niccollai announced today, on behalf of the Union Reimbursement Medical Plan, that there will be a modification to cover the cost of At-Home COVID Tests for members and their eligible dependents under a program requiring the submission of a claim form, accompanied by a receipt acknowledging proof of purchase.
UPDATE ON COVID TESTING FOR NON-VACCINATED MEMBERS
As we get closer to the February 9, 2022 deadline for employees either being vaccinated or tested, we continue negotiations with our Employers. Obviously, as we stated in our previous posting of December 30, 2021 we are vehemently opposed to the cost of the tests being paid by the employee.
