[QUOTE="exupser87, post: 512379, member: 22163"] "should have walked off the job" AT&T's wireline business is declining (20 percent of consumer access lines lost in the past 3 years), yet it is the part of the business where union employees have the richest health care benefits. Union-represented Core wireline employees pay similar amounts for their health care as union workers at the Big 3 automakers pay — and it's clear what those sorts of unsustainable costs have done to America's auto industry. These employees also pay significantly lower than what other AT&T employees pay, including those covered by other CWA contracts. Health care plans that keep Core wireline bargained-for employees with lower health care costs than AT&T management, other recently negotiated CWA agreements, competitors and well below the national average — remaining one the of most robust health care plans in the nation. Some elements of the plans include: [LIST] [*]Employee health care costs pegged to wages, so that those who earn less, pay less for deductibles [*]Full company-funded coverage of all preventative care, including annual physicals, mammograms, well-baby care, and immunizations [/LIST]Have you bothered to notice what is going on in the economy ? The "union bent over backwards" ? What world are you living in ? I've got some advice for you - Never attempt to be a union negotiator. [/QUOTE]
