If someone lives in a RTW state and opts out. Do they still get their Union
run health benefits? I'm hearing quite a few employees are voting NO just because they feel they can't opt out without losing all healthcare.

They can't vote in the contract though.RTW states Employees represented by a Union in RTW states have the same benefits and same representation whether they are a member of the Union or not.
If a Union does not provide the exact same wages, benefits, representation that will be heavily fined and Union management and administrators will be prosecuted under the full extent of the law. That can fines and/or time served.
Since Unions tend to not be too popular in RTW states, these prosecutions would most likely be executed very diligently.
Bottom line, it is not worth the risk to a Teamster employee to not provide the same benefits, etc.
But as always Caveat emptor (let the buyer beware).
Union stewards and other Union members may try and tell you different but they are just ignorant or lying.
I personally don't think it is right for a friend/T driver to not pay Union dues.
I think a P/T has to be crazy to do so for what they get.
JMO.

I am not all that interested in the reasons for opting out. More interested in the idea of losing healthcare if someone does opt out. It would seem to make more sense of why the Teamsters would want involvement in healthcare.
I'm in a right to work state. Most of the employees in my building that aren't in the union are the older drivers 20 years or so!
By opt out I'm assuming you mean get a free ride? Yes, in RTW states they ride for free on the backs of us who actually contribute to moving our union forward. I can say that I can count the number of non union drivers in our hub on one hand. Did I mention that non union employees are also not allowed on the safety committee? Yeah, when faced with that choice, guess which one was taken.If someone lives in a RTW state and opts out. Do they still get their Union

Really, I would have thought the opposite was true, WOW.
Is this true in other RTW states?
I wish we could opt out of representing you. Scabs who freeload are the worst. Right to work is a stupid republican plan to weaken our unions. Wake up and join the union.If someone lives in a RTW state and opts out. Do they still get their Union

You mean the few in RTW states that desire to vote ... whereas 90% of P/T nationwide never vote anyway?
One clarification - If a P/T plans to make a career of UPS and is making $15 an hour or more ... they should probably join the Union.
Union. Hell, the union is divided. Rank and file divided, but far worse....... locals divided.
Not much of a union at this point in time.
