[QUOTE="rocking chair guy, post: 251807"] Satellitedriver , I didnt have the option of going with Central States as we were covered by UPS's insurance . More I think of it , we voted on this in very early 70's as a result of an agreement between two locals , both from different states as some of the work was moved just across the river from one to the other to a new center opening up and we were represented for a year or two by our old local and then the agreement was reached to have us become part of the local in the state where the new center was as we were the only ones in the state to not belong to that local , so they let us vote ( by the state ) on going with Central States coverage or UPS's and think that is pretty much how it went down but memory isnt as good as it used to be ! I know when we voted they told us that it was a one time deal and we were locked into whichever we chose . So when I retired the option of picking up the Central States insurance wasnt really available to me . We draw our pensions from Central States but are covered by UPS medical insurance . I know the other teamsters retirees in our local have their medical coverage thru Central States but all the UPS retirees are covered under UPS's insurance . We may be unique in this regard , not sure how other locals work .
