Calif. Government, Labor Union Test Program To Reduce State Workers’ Health Care Costs
California's largest labor organization, SEIU Local 1000, is working with state agencies to test a program that could lower state employees' medical costs without shifting more costs to workers. The program, called "Healthier U," uses social media, peer support and friendly competition to encourage individuals to improve their diet and physical activity.
