[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1350217, member: 14176"] Hoffa and Hall did clearly state this, but I don't believe it was ever the whole truth. I wasn't there to bear witness to how the subject was broached in negotiations, but if it were indeed UPS emphatically wanting out of the HC business, that would have been a huge bargaining chip for the union. This company is at the top of their game and a concession like this should yield major gains in other areas that didn't happen. In fact the opposite was the case. I submit that it was never the company that insisted on getting out, rather the union who insisted on getting their hands on that money to stabilize the HC funds for the rest of the union. Hoffa said it best, as we stand today, our Taft Hartley plan is "unsustainable" under the ACA. He's taking our "good money" and throwing it after bad. It's just a matter of time before our GWI is also taken, coupled with increasing annual deductibles, to shoulder the ever increasing burden, instead of a company with the proven resources. I hate it when people try to bring themselves up, by bringing someone else down and that's exactly what has happened here. It's not fair to be tricked into martyrdom. [/QUOTE]
