Union-negotiated health benefits are a core part of collective bargaining agreements. The bill's provision to end tax-free employer health coverage for employees hired after the five-year mark could undermine the value of these negotiated benefits. Unions may lose leverage in bargaining for comprehensive health plans if the tax code no longer favors employer-sponsored group coverage.
