[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 1422967, member: 37112"] Apparently that worrisome mind control is working on you as it has affected your reading/comprehension skills. No where in the now infamous "Hoffa letter" is [B]our plan[/B] (TeamCare) mentioned. While the letter does refer to Taft Hartley plans, it also specifically mentions three items need to occur for the predicted "unsustainable" outcome. 1)The first item listed is cutting hours. That is not possible under the IBT/UPS CBA which guarantees hours and benefit payments for FT and PT. Additionally, UPS has increased permanent hiring across the country, thereby [B]increasing[/B] benefit obligations going forward. 2) While the ACA doesn't allow Taft Hartleys to enjoy subsidies, (a blunder IMO) other govt. rebate avenues exist such as the RDS program that benefit plans with superior coverage (drugs) found in most Taft Hartley H&W plans. 3) Taxes on plans are manageable and will sunset in three years, actually costing less than rebates already received by participating plans under the RDS and EERP programs. Hoffa's point was broad and not specific to the UPS CBA. The point being made is some Taft Hartleys will struggle, no doubt. But TeamCare isn't in that picture as the enhanced plan negotiated for UPS'ers is miles ahead of lesser plans. The real irony is how you (and others) hang on this letter as absolute fact when everything else Hoffa says is met with unequivocal skepticism. [/QUOTE]
