Newfront Meeting Information
This year, we are working with healthcare provider Newfront to offer a different health insurance option to our employees. We have worked with all 4 bargaining units to provide employees the chance to vote on whether or not to stay with California’s Valued Trust (CVT) or switch to Newfront. The following link is the recording of the informational meeting with Newfront where employees asked many relevant questions regarding our health insurance offerings. We encourage you to watch this meeting and review the informational packets below prior to making your decision.
