What is the role of the trustees in determining our health care benefits?
The trustees are responsible for overseeing the finances of the fund; ensuring that appropriate laws are followed and making decisions concerning benefit plan design as needed. Trustees are representatives of the unions and the contributing companies (such as Kroger). Their job is to ensure that there is adequate funding to pay the health care benefits, or to recommend changes to plan design if there is inadequate funding.
