An anonymous Trane employee said officials are having trouble making an agreement with Ingersoll Rand, the company that owns Trane.  Rand reportedly wants to switch insurance plans from the current 90\/10 Blue Cross Blue Shield program to the 80\/20 Ingersoll Rand company insurance. Workers are unhappy with a change in the contract that will cut off medical, dental and life for anyone who retires after the new contract is signed. Also, any new employees hired after the contract is signed will have no retirement benefits. Trane representatives declined to comment on the contract negotiations. A vote on the new contract is set for Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; Workers at the Trane plant in Tyler continue to wait as union representatives negotiate their contract with the company.
