[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1201270, member: 42270"] The shuttle issue is a big problem and should absolutely be addressed in the Air Rider. I based my statements, as I said above, on interactions I've had with Local 89 members via social media. I'm not claiming every rank-and-file member is rattling off bad information, but there is a lot of it out there. Regardless of the GWI language, each diversion would have to be ratified by the affected members local-by-local. The GWI diversion and the rights of the trustees to change our benefits are both [B]necessary in case of unforeseen economic catastrophes. [/B]Putting the 22.3 problems, four year progression, air shuttle (pertinent to L89), and other issues aside, much of the opposition to the contract has crystallized around TeamCare. Additionally, as I stated earlier, our benefits significantly outclass even the much-lauded federal employee benefits offered by the postal service (USPS). I'll be listing the numbers for [B]family coverage[/B] although I'll link the total policy below. Full disclosure: there are at least four different postal worker unions covering Letter Carriers (NALC -- the guys that actually deliver your mail) Rural Letter Carriers (the ones that deliver purely on extended/rural routes), the actual sorters/processors/clerks (APWU) and a mail processing/mail handlers union I'm less familiar with. Here's a side-by-side comparison, using the NALC benefits (with family coverage) as an example: Premiums (with dependents): TeamCare: $0 Federal: [B]$115/bi-weekly[/B] ($57.50/week) Deductibles: TeamCare: $200/yearly Federal: [B]$200 per ADMISSION [/B](in network, otherwise [B]$350[/B]) Out-of-pocket maximum: TeamCare: $2,000 OOP maximum/year Federal: 15% per visit/surgery/incident, with an OOP max of [B]$5,000/year[/B] [/QUOTE]
