title: VEBAs employers to unions: see if you can do better.
abstract: Faced with staggering healthcare costs, some large companies have transferred those liabilities to a voluntary employee beneficiary association. Eager to control employee and retiree benefits, unions gladly have taken on the challenge of running a VEBA. But success in this field is hard won, and to earn it, some unions may be forced to take a harder line with health care professionals and manufacturers than employers did.
