[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1116340, member: 31414"] UPS - Teamster negotiations reportedly began on September 27, 2012. The question I have is; "why do you believe UPS waited so long to bring up the healthcare issue of $30/$60/$90, when they knew that this would be a major stumbling block in negotiations? It is now April 3 (6 months later) and over 240,000 UPS Teamsters are waiting to see the fate of their lives and that of their family. Other than those of us on Brown Cafe and the negotiating teams for both UPS and the Teamsters...... I really do not think the rest of our work force, the stock holders, and the rest of America has a clue what may happen in four months if we cannot come to an agreement. I know for a fact that the 80 or so drivers in my building have no idea about the current contract negotiations. All of them are like sheep in the dark. Considering that MAJOR adjustments in these people's lives may be near, I would like to think that the Locals across the country would be preparing and informing ALL UPS Teamsters. The longer our IBT waits to come up with some FIRM proposals and statements, the LESS prepared we ALL are.. I firmly believe that most UPS Teamsters take for granted that each contract brings better wages and better benefits. Time will tell....... [/QUOTE]
