[QUOTE="Hawfuh Sux, post: 1153994, member: 48086"] In 1997, UPS was offering the same amount of full-time jobs Hall is selling us out for today, 2350. In 1997, the starting wage at UPS was $8.00 an hour. After the strike it went up just .50 cents. Today, part-time workers (67% of the total UPS work force) are poorer than they were in 1997. Today, 140,000 UPSers will pay a heavy price when we get merged into that garbage healthplan a.k.a. TEAMCARE. 140,000 UPSers will go from paying $0 in deductibles to $400. They will also go from paying $5 on prescription medication to; $50 for that same prescription. Retirees in the areas covering those 140,000 UPSers currently pay $50 a month for a company provided superior healthcare; if this TA passes they will pay $300 per month for an inferior health plan. In these areas we are able to retire at [B]Golden 80[/B], if this garbage passes the [B]Golden 80[/B] is eliminated and we won't be able to retire with full benefits until we're [B]55 years old[/B]. Currently we have people retiring at [B]48 years[/B] of age with a full pension and full benefits! Right now and more than ever there is a huge reason for everyone to vote NO! [/QUOTE]
