    nclosed is the completed spreadsheet. Note that there is only one tier of employees covered as all employees pay ame amount for their coverage. It is therefore not necessary that we keep coverage by employee, employee/child,mployee/family, etc. An employee who is single pays the same as the employee with a wife and 3 children. Its

    way these types of union funds typically operate. There are no separate rates.

    We have responded to your questions below. Let us know if you need anything else.
