The members of the DCSMEC Bargaining Unit ratified a one year contract reopener with M-DCPS on November 10, 2010.  The vote count was 349 in favor and 123 opposed.  The members of DCSMEC will therefore have the opportunity to have “Open Enrollment” for their 2011 Health Insurance starting on November 17-23, 2010.  Unit members can either sign up on line (through the employee portal) or with a representative at the locations and times provided (see below).  There will also be representatives present to sign Union Members up for “Union provided” Dental and/or child only Health Insurance.  Union members can also get more information and sign up for DCSMEC Insurance products at the General Membership meeting tomorrow, November 16, 2010 at the DCSMEC location 2315 NW 107 Avenue, Miami, FL  33172 in Conference Room 10 & 11 at 4:30pm.  If you do not intend to make any changes to your M-DCPS on DCSMEC Insurance then you do not have to do anything and your current Insurance and cost will remain fixed.  Please don’t forget.

Fraternally yours,

Joe Cortese
