Discriminatory and very curt. Atleast be polite if someone is asking you a question. Wasted so much of my pay check. They just protect themselves, not teachers. Rude, please don’t waste your hard earned money here. The unenrollment can be done on from July 1-15 each year. I will be unenrolling. Basic manners and politeness have escaped them. They have never done anything for teachers in Clark county.

Teacher pay is insulting. We’re not getting our tiny step increase. Shameful how teachers are treated in NV.

I am a member, got talked into joining again under the lip service the union is “You” and how we need more teachers. However, I have found that they will push their agenda even if many disagree. They are in bed with THT. Barely any providers want to work with THT because they aren’t paying bills. The union keeps focusing on what THT once was and could be again instead of the very real and serious problem we have now. It does not matter how much more money the district could contribute when doctors won’t take the insurance. Centennial hospital, Cancer centers of Nevada, SimonMed imaging all dropped. We are female dominant profession and many of the better OB/GYN‘s that help with debilitating reproductive diseases such as endometriosis, no longer take THT. Mental health is a big issue and yet we only have nine participating psychologist, no psychiatrist. One of the board members happens do you therapist and she will not take THT. Almost every teacher I’ve spoken to in my workplace would prefer to go with a for-profit insurance. But the story spun is that UnitedHealth is a monopoly and they will give us premiums that are way too high. This is not true. I had them while at a charter school and teachers had six options. Yes, did I have to pay into it? Yes. I paid $110 a month for coverage that was far superior to teachers Health trust with a lower deductible, lower out-of-pocket max, better co-pays and better coinsurance percentages-especially for out of network. With teachers Health trust, many of us will be forced to go out of network for care and this will be extremely expensive considering only 50% is covered by the trust. Other insurance plans cover 70 to 80%. There is also Blue Cross and Blue Shield. The representatives at CCEA are hostile when it is suggested we drop the trust. How about giving teacher choice? Let them choose? I have never seen a survey from the union asking teachers what they would prefer; they know the answer and don’t wish to admit it. I feel I was tricked into becoming a member-I was told my voice would be heard. I wasn’t told I would be pushed to comply and be considered a scab if I brought different options to the table.
