[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1161553, member: 31414"] Thank you for the article Cheryl. I commend Mr. Zuckerman for his stance on this matter and not caving to Union politics. The seriousness of this issue has been compounded by both the IBT and UPS themselves. The "healthcare game/ruse" that was presented to us was likely discussed in 2012 and possibly earlier. The whole UPS initial bargaining of $30/$60/$90 (per week) followed by the Hall/Hoffa "creative solutions" was a TV skit made for "Reality TV". Really? How ignorant does our IBT think we are? Yes, there are those "cheerleaders" that simply want to believe that this was truly a "creative solution" by our Union leaders however, the more intelligent self thinkers certainly know better. The belief by our IBT leaders that "Central States TeamCare" would be appealing to those of us that have enjoyed full UPS healthcare benefits was a SERIOUS mistake. Regardless of the fact that Central States Pension and the Central States H & W fund are different entities, the name "Central States" alone is analogous to mismanagement, mistrust, and misguided. Although fairness and equality have certainly disappeared from most all aspects of this proposed contract, nothing is more unfair in my mind than having new members of the TeamCare program have better (enhanced C6) benefits than existing participants. Can our Union leaders possibly do anything more to divide this once great Union called the International BROTHERHOOD of Teamsters? UPS is dividing us more and more and our leaders are accomplices to this task. Thank you Mr. Zuckerman for attempting to keep our Union strong. [/QUOTE]
