[QUOTE="710 steward, post: 1519324, member: 52299"] Agreed, Teamcare is here to stay. In theory the Teamsters should be able to do healthcare cheaper as there are more Teamsters than UPS employees. Whether that statement holds true or not remains to be seen. Atomic_Smurf is correct. UPS did in fact start negotiations with them as the healthcare provider. The reason why the Teamsters took it over is because with the new and possible upcoming changes in pension laws they need to still have a reason to exist. Let's face it that's millions running through the system if pension laws seriously change to the detriment of the Teamster brass. Reasons to vote no. Too many to list. Individual bargaining on paid days is one. If one wants less than 8 hours they have the right to forgo their 8 hour guarantee. That's just opening the door for part time package car drivers. Retirement is another. I understand there can't be a pension increase but there are fair ways to split the $40 annual weekly increase for retirement. I think it's unreasonable to pay in access of $500 weekly into a fund and expect to get nothing in return. Neither should anyone fee that way. The last thing any of you deserve is to work for 30 years and get 50% pay for money that would have made you a millionaire. For those voting yes my question is other than back pay where do you believe you are gaining in this contract? If you can't answer that question then why are you voting yes? [/QUOTE]
