You’re asking a different question. How much do you pay for monthly health insurance premium exactly? Do you think it’s fair employees in private companies pay in some cases $2000 per month for family health plan? Many employees in public sector also do not have free health insurance. They also do not have summers off. You sound awfully entitled.

Do said private companies offer employees the ability to opt out of their insurance plan? Because jersey city does not. I only pay for myself because my husband (who works for a private company) gets free Healthcare and I cannot opt out of mine to go on his. If I had a family of four on my plan, it would cost me $800 a month.

Also, while I have summers off, I don't get vacation days, which I'm sure many private sector employees have. I also don't get a paid maternity leave unless I pay for short term disability insurance.

If I come off as entitled, it's because I've been teaching for too long to put up with not being treated like a human being by the people I have to answer to.

That sounds like a question only your union benefit planners or reps can answer. I dont think the board has any control over that.
