[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1288752, member: 14176"] I can't speak for Irishman Collins, despite 407's disillusion (I think he believes we are one in the same, poor fella), I know UPS is in a much better position to absorb and maintain the plan financially than the Central States and the IBT. In the Central Region where I reside, we would be able to strike the company if they failed to maintain the plan at the same level from the 1st day to the last of the collective bargaining agreement. The company, under their plans, have had the right to reduce our level of benefits in all of the previous contracts but haven't saw fit to even try. In light of record profits in an expanding market, the company would be hard pressed to make a case to reduce benefits. Instead, the company has shouldered the increasing financial burden throughout the duration of those agreements. What has happened to make us think that they couldn't continue to shoulder that burden for a workforce who mortgages their bodies to make UPS million$? How can we possibly think locking the company into a predetermined, defined, 5 year financial healthcare obligation to be a good thing for UPS Teamsters in light of the undeniably unstable trends of the healthcare industry?
