She was talented...she went over to the reality tv dark side?
Probably had a hard time making a buck afterword. She was kinda a one hit wonder. I don't know what I'd do sometimes without reality tv.

I saw her sing live once...in the 90's at Jones Beach....she opened for Heart, I believe.
Yes I did have a full time job. Actually I've had 4 different ones in the past 5.5 years. Been laid off of all of them due to cut backs. I've been at UPS part time for over 8 years with no sniff of a full time opportunity. Also not able to leave due to the unstable work force out there.
I do realize our new insurance is still better than most people in the country. However, when it still is a cut (and potentially huge cut) from what we had and our company is raking in the profit then it does sting too much.
It's not just the insurance cuts, but also who controls it and what they can do without our input. Central States is a mess plain and simple. I realize that the pension is separate from the health fund, but it's the same board in charge of both. I'm aware that the health fund is in great status, but that doesn't mean they know what they are doing. They were all too quick to want to dump us in that fund. Also, they can take up to a 100% of our future raises and divert them into the fund (without our input).
PTers got hosed on this contract plain and simple. We will continue to get hosed until enough of us start standing up and saying enough is enough.

PTers have been getting hosed since I started (1989) and will still be getting hosed when I leave (2019).
Right because folks that don't know what they're doing usually are successful...
You just can't explain it to someone who doesn't want to see it.
You ever try being a waiter?
Work safe or not at all.

Monthly prescription drug cost went from $80 to $18. Not bad in my opinion.
File early, file often.

You know they could have a "healthy" fund because they don't pay out as much. The plan looks like it has gives and takes for costs, but right now it looks like its taking from me more so than giving back. After almost a year (that they knew they were taking over health insurance for PTers) and yet they still don't have a Plan Document available (or even the Summary of that Plan Document) on their website, doesn't inspire too much confidence that they can handle all the PTers. Smells like they may be changing the plan already for next year.
Anyway, at the end of day I will do what I need to do. If that calls for withdrawing from the union to help cover my new health care expenses, so be it. It's not like my vote mattered anyway, or would matter in the future because as long as FTers get status quo it will pass anyway. Especially now since they can just essentially vote for you. I'm responsible for putting food on the table and keeping a roof over my family, not my so called "brothers and sisters" from Teamsters.
Also serving as a waiter is not going to happen. I have a degree in CIS and write software. I'm not a people person. The job market still sucks in some areas compared to others. So I'm just having to deal with it.

How have you determined that ??
Nothing is stopping you.
Just remember, don't call us.... when you need something.
Withdraw from the Union....
And your "brothers and sisters" will feel no obligation to you.
It might be, right up your alley.
Non-Union.

My first experience with my new prescription plan. I went from $0.00 to $297.00. 97 is for the prescription and the 200 is for my deductible. Yeah, I'm liking this a whole lot. I probably won't get the script, just put it in my wish list cart.

Wish list cart....it's funny but it's really not. Thanks Teamcrap!
I agree with him and I do... My daughters physical therapy cost twice as much. We have to find new dentists, eye doctors and orthodontists...

Just spoke with a driver 30 mins ago, filled multiple prescriptions at the same time, and first time he had filled under Teamcare. Total bill was $5.00.

AAHHHHHH. Yeah, you guys got hosed. Retiree healthcare and 4 year progression was the main 2 reasons why I voted no.
