CORRECTION: An article in the Jan. 18 issue of the NW Labor Press about the ongoing dis- pute between TriMet and ATU Local 757 needs clarification and correction. The article said that wages for bus and train operators and mechanics top out at about $22 an hour. That figure was out of date and did not include longevity bonuses that long-time em- ployees receive after decades on the job. The current figure, including those bonuses, has them topping out at roughly $29 an hour. The article also failed to mention the out-of-pocket maximum in describing TriMet health insurance plans. The arti- cle correctly reported that employees pay 10 percent of the cost of health care services in the “90/10” plan that was imposed by an arbitrator, and would pay 20 percent in the 80/20 plan that TriMet is now proposing — but only up to an out-of-pocket maximum of $1,500 a year. $17 a month coverage includes: S HEET M ETAL 16 Retirees meet 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 14, at Izzy’s Pizza, 1307 NE 102nd Ave., Portland.
