[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1115049, member: 11246"] This bothers me. The exact quote [B]"they have not withdrawn their proposal requiring that employees pay the premiums they originally proposed."[/B] hall has stated many times we are not going to pay 90 dollars, 9 dollars or 9 cents. My question is why, at this point, being that everything else is pretty much hammered out.....why is he still scheduling more negotiations? I do not understand this tactic. To me, he is not sending a clear message to UPS that he is not willing to allow premiums in the contract. I tried to buy a rental house in 2000. It had a garage/loft connected to the house that was a hazard. My mortgage company would not lend the money until the garage was removed. Knowing a little about construction, electrical and plumbing, I knew that tearing it down was not as simple as a quick demo. I had zero interest in taking a gamble at guessing the exact demo cost, betting that there would be additional costs in the long run. My first bid was X amount with the garage being removed by current owner. They came back with a much lower purchase price but putting the demo on me. I made a simple call, stated that I would not consider purchasing the property unless they removed the garage. They walked. 3 weeks later, they came back and we started to negotiate without the demo liability on the table. Fast forward 2 months, the garage was removed, but the house was now uninsurable do to a supporting wall that was connected to the garage that now had to be rebuilt with new footers. I was able to walk from the deal. [/QUOTE]
