In a breakthrough agreement, the Hyatt Regency Maui will be the first employer to partner with the ILWU and provide employee medical and dental benefits through a negotiated Union/Company trust fund. The changeover is scheduled to take place on January 1, 2005. On that date, instead of paying HMSA or Kaiser directly, the Hyatt Maui will put the money into a trust fund. The trust fund will then pay the medical and dental bills or the Kaiser premiums.
