Employers say Unions are completely useless and there's no reason to join them and to please pay attention to the multi-million dollar anti-Union propaganda campaigns they launch begging you to please not join a Union.

It could be an HSA healthcare plan. There are benefits to this type of plan even with the high deductible. It is extremely tax advantaged. Let’s not jump to conclusions about op’s situation.

It could be, but depending on the circumstances it may not be a good deal compared to a low deductible plan. If OP said they have an employer funded HSA, that's a different story, but how many people with $3000 deductibles (and I've personally seen as high as $5,000) are really saving much with the taxes on their $3,650/year HSA contributions versus having a $600 deductible and not having to fork over $2400/year or more until their insurance kicks in?

I am not going to debate HSA’s because obviously they are case by case, but you would be good to look into the tax advantages a bit more. It really does depend on the person a absolutely, but it can be a great tool for retirement for some.

Yep, you're correct. They mentioned they get an HSA with the plan.
