[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1189929, member: 43436"] [b]Re: Does UPS shafting of it's managment healthcare make U accept they want to get us[/b] UPS has made it clear, and stalled negotiations because, that they were no longer willing to provide company-controlled no-cost benefits; the perceived costs was more than they were willing to pay. Hall simply cannot present a contract in which we pay a portion of our premium -- most of the FTers are in union-controlled - NOT company-controlled - health plans, and the cost would be too much for the crux of the PT workforce. Such contract simply would not pass. For similar reasoning, Hall could not present a contract with diminished wages in exchange for continued company-controlled benefits. FTers currently in what's now TEAMCare have reported high satisfaction with the health plan. Seemingly it's the smear campaign by TDU, social media & word-of-mouth on TEAMCare that has UPSers worried. Most of the "concerns" are simply unfounded. And many PTers & FTers voted against the contract because they felt the economic proposals didn't go far enough; e.g. a FTer believes the cumulative $30K in raises they'll receive should be tripled, the pension should be doubled, and not one penny should flow out of their pocket toward increased health care costs. Unfortunately, such proposal is simply unrealistic. I strongly believe Hall presented us with a contract whose economic proposal was a fair balance, at least for those who will vote. I'm opposed to the contract, and will continue to vote no, until such matters as Article 7 language is corrected & 22.3 jobs are enforced. Most of the FTers on here don't care about A7 or 22.3 -- they just want more $$$. Hall will not lead IBT on strike against UPS. The cost is too high, especially since it's a minority of employees affected. ...except the thousands of Teamsters currently in TEAMCare, several of whom post on here and report no issues with the insurance.
