Our fight for better wages, affordable healthcare, and a fair attendance policy at Maximus has been making waves in the news! Our stories were featured in recent articles in Mother Jones and New York Magazine.
Did you receive word that our healthcare costs are going up at Maximus next year? Maximus framed these changes to our healthcare plan as beneficial to us, but the bottom line is that our deductibles will rise by $500, our urgent care copays will double, and our annual out-of-pocket maximums will increase by $1,000!
Former GDIT call center representatives have reached a settlement with the company to resolve their allegations that the company failed to pay proper overtime wages. GDIT sold its federal call center business to MAXIMUS, in November 2018. The proposed settlement, if approved by a judge, will result in the 182 former GDIT employees who joined the lawsuit splitting $80,000 in back wages.
Employees are questioning how this shift in operations will affect individual workers and the union movement for improved working conditions at Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) call centers nationwide.
On September 6, GDIT workers from Bogalusa, LA, Hattiesburg, MS, and London, KY went to Capitol Hill to talk to senators and members of Congress about our fight for fair wages and a union at GDIT.
