Greenbrier Hotel Extends Health Benefits for Workers

The Greenbrier Resort has confirmed that health care coverage for its union employees will continue uninterrupted, following a recent crisis over alleged delinquent payments. The resort was reportedly $2.4 million behind on contributions to the Amalgamated National Health Fund and faced a potential lapse in benefits, initially set to expire on August 27. However, a settlement agreement was reached, and the resort emphasized that all employee contributions were remitted on time and used solely for health care coverage. Governor Jim Justice reassured employees about the continuity of their benefits, despite previous claims of overdue payments. Union representatives expressed relief over the resolution but remain cautious, hoping for adherence to future commitments. The statement from the resort underscored its commitment to its employees, highlighting their essential role in the guest experience.
