In my experience at the bargaining table, employers are definitely trying to move away from adding benefits. We're constantly negotiating and fighting for what we have and have had very little chance of trying to improve the benefits at the table for our members. The costs keep skyrocketing, and of course our bargaining skills at the table have to keep improving and sharpening, because we need to fight to protect what those members have.
