[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 2607873, member: 42554"] The reason for the "carve out" is because of Article 23 "Maintenance of Standards" language in our Western regional supplement that basically says that all conditions will be maintained at no less than the highest standards of the agreement before. This is language that the East, with the exception of Local 177, seems to have bargained away. You should direct your questions and anger to those in power who bargained your Maintenance of Standards language away long ago. Hoffa/Hall didn't "give the company a chance", the Company was resolute that they were getting out of the healthcare business. Not wanting to create a whole new HC plan as Andy M did, they just rolled everyone into TeamCare. Andy M & Local 177 were not having any of it and we controlled our own destiny. This fact was obviously not conveyed to you in your contract negotiations, as apparently your leadership did not want to explain why your Maintenance of Standards language was bargained away. I'm proud to be in the West and proud to have been represented by Andy M for so long, as most of us are. We have never known the pain regarding our HC and pension plan that you have in the East but we can only be responsible for our Region. I would suggest redirecting your efforts to get your region a better deal, not throw stones at ours. I would personally love to have everyone in the country in our healthcare plan, and pension plan for that matter, but that is way beyond my non-pay grade in the Union. [/QUOTE]
