[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1111251, member: 43436"] What you described has minimal effect on UPS; there are no Teamster employees within UPS with incomes subject to the new higher taxes & the removal of lifetime financial limits + enabling children to remain on their parents' insurance until age 26 has minimal impact that would be addressed through the deductibles & higher co-pays/insurances UPS is proposing (and some FT plans have already made adjustments to offset these costs). While it's convenient to blame ObamaCare, our country has been facing a health care crisis for 30 years; UPS has absorbed these costs year after year. UPS is now a publicly traded company that needs to address to its share holders its high labor costs in relative to its competitors. Given that UPS now receives more work from me in significantly fewer hours per week than it did 5 years ago, I do not feel that I should have to contribute toward any concessions this contract. But it's inevitable that ultimately, probably the next contract 4-5 years from now, that I will. [/QUOTE]
