Here is the revised Retiree Benefit Plan booklet, it is also available as a pdf.

One year ago, when plan models were struck, the Health coverage was limited to drugs and did not include the many other supplies and services that make up the full Extended Health Care Benefit. Since there is some significant funding that was negotiated and since there will initially be few retirees, Coughlin concluded that the coverage for CULE retirees should include Extended Health supplies and services in addition to the drugs.

They have prepared a revised plan document to reflect this. The rates previously struck will not change. This revision will also ensure that the CULE retiree plan is for the most part comparable to the AEU retiree plan which is in the best interests of CULE and its members.
