Losing 10 days for something that should have already been included in benefits is nuts. Only helps those planning to have a family. Also the short term disability is only 60% of pay which for most is not enough. Cutting benefits without pay increases for 2 years. Not a good look.

They are also capping the pay out to 10 days total of your PTO. What about folks that have been working here for many years and have a lot of banked vacation. Doesn't seem right. There will be a lot of people retiring or leaving before this goes into effect

Trading 10 paid days off for benefits that many won't ever use is in no way an improvement.

Yes, the employees are better or worse off. How do you answer an either/or question with yes or no? Edit much ABC17? If working conditions at MU are so bad, employees should find another job, there are lots out there.
