[QUOTE="tellitstraight, post: 434103, member: 19159"] Hello 767mech could you also address the following questions? Fact : We haven't asked for anything yet -- then this is not a negotiation, what has been going on for the past two years? Fact: We are the highest paid in the airline industry -- agreed - and nothing to be ashamed of. Fact UPS is unbelievably profitable. -- True but not so much right now, a profitable UPS means a secure and profitable future for ALL of us. Don't kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Fact: UPS proposes to raise our healthcare 150%. -- Please explain, does this mean you will have a $15 co-pay? Technically if you were paying nothing then anything is a 100% increase - what is the actual proposal? You do realize that healthcare is not just a UPS issue it is a US issue. *Since 2000, employment-based health insurance premiums have increased 100 percent, compared to cumulative inflation of 24 percent and cumulative wage growth of 21 percent during the same period.2 *Health insurance expenses are the fastest growing cost component for employers.

Fact: UPS proposes to take away our prescriptions -- I find that hard to believe - I would guess they are proposing a co-pay. Fact: Pension,Pay and 401k haven't have been talked about yet. -- I will take your word for it.
