[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1195977, member: 42270"] hall has explicitly stated that IBT will not re-open the master agreement. That means only the supplements can be re-negotiated. The recent TeamCare enhancements are markedly better than what was originally offered to the membership and is almost identical -- save for the $100/$200 deductible kicking in during 2018, the 80% cap on out-of-network diagnostics/lab tests/imaging, and the changes in networks for vision and dental coverage -- to the current company plans. The major complaint for those that would be covered under TeamCare lies in the union's control of the health care plan: UPS could not reduce the level of benefits under a company plan without negotiating these changes under a new CBA. The trustees of TeamCare (and any other Taft-Hartley H&W plan in the country, for that matter) have the discretion to change the level of benefits [B]at any time[/B]. This caveat is included as boiler plate language in order to preserve some level of benefits in case of a catastrophic economic down turn -- personally, I have no qualms with it but many of the people in the "Vote NO" locals do. For those[B] already under[/B] CS H&W, the retiree insurance is again identical; $200/$400 for single/family coverage per month. The retirees under company plans currently pay [B]$50[/B] per month, but UPS has been entirely unwilling to continue the company plans. [/QUOTE]
