[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1164608, member: 4886"] I agree that the communication was very very poor this time. Not that UPS has done a great job lately in communicating "enhancements" to us lately. But the whole line of you talked, we listened and then telling smokers then had til Sept 1st instead of July 1st was sad. Truthfully, the smoking penalty I partially agree with. However, I think $1800 is steep. I could see if they told people that we will access a $600 penalty Year 1, $1200 year 2, $1800 year 3 then at least it would be gradual and push people to quit smoking but not such a huge spike in immediate cost to them. I also see the writing on the wall for other things, (Weight, High risk activities etc). Those will eventually be enhanced too. The thing that is most disturbing is kicking the spouse off of UPS insurance. That is just soooo wrong. Granted it doesn't impact me right now. But I still don't think it's the right thing to do. The thing that bothered me the most is that UPS just signed an agreement with "our employees" and for 5 years they get contractually better insurance (at lower cost) then we do. That's ridiculous.
