-- Step increases, longevity pay, vacation and sick leave would remain unchanged.



-- Retirees age 55-65 would continue to have the option to purchase health care coverage at the group rate, which is significantly less expensive than buying health care individually.



-- HealthPartners would agree to establish and fund a labor/management education training fund.



HealthPartners remains committed to working with SEIU to reach an agreement that is fair and reasonable.



Unless we reach an agreement, we expect a two-day strike to occur on Feb. 13 and 14. HealthPartners is preparing for operations during a potential strike.
