(WSBT) There is more trouble for retired Bosch workers in Berrien County.

Some retirees have received a letter saying their health benefits will be terminated as of November 4. The letter states that if they want to continue receiving health benefits, a married retiree would have to pay almost $800 a month. Prescription drug costs would also increase.

Their health insurance had been free or at very low cost.

Retirees plan to meet around 1 p.m. Tuesday to talk about the issue. Stay with WSBT News to find out how the former Bosch employees plan to fight back.
