The clock is ticking. HB267 is an unprecedented attack on the freedom of Utah’s public employees, including the firefighters, nurses, and teachers who keep our communities safe.
Supporters claim this bill will “increase participation,” but the truth is: it will leave workers powerless, driving down wages, slashing benefits, and worsening working conditions.
Without the freedom to collectively bargain, public workers will have zero leverage to fight for fair pay and protections—leading to mass turnover and gutting the essential services Utah families count on every day.
A vote could happen at any moment. We need your voice NOW to stop this harmful legislation. Send your letter today and demand that legislators vote NO on HB267.

The Teamsters Voluntary Income Protection Plus (VIP+) Plan is comprised of three separate insurance benefits designed to provide you and your families with crucial financial security if you cannot work due to injury, illness, scheduled surgery, or death. Benefit options include Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, and Life Insurance with AD&D (Includes Spouse and Children coverage options). All benefit options are voluntary, meaning if you want to be covered you must act by enrolling in the benefit options you desire.
Enrolling in these important benefits only takes a few minutes. Visit https://teamstersvip.com/ to find more information or sign up. All coverages are guaranteed approved. That means no medical tests or questionnaires to enroll, and you cannot be denied coverage.
The timing of your enrollment directly affects when your coverage begins. So, the sooner you enroll, the sooner you and your family will be protected. To secure coverage for an effective date of April 1, 2024, make sure to enroll by March 25th.
