When will contract negotations resume?

[UnconTROLLed]

Opting out of the insurance has been thrown around a lot and could be a big selling point to lots of part timers. I never disagreed with you on that, my point was if the company gave part timers a $5 raise and then ask for $90 for insurance it would just wash out

I understand that, but the "opt-out" part doesn't make sense to me. It's just being too divisive, which is why I don't talk about it. I am talking about forgoing full-time medical benefits for wages. Yes it does wash out, that was the point.

Which contract were you hired under?

The one after the 1976 strike. Union jobs need te be paid union wages not min. wages.

we have been deliberately talking STRIKE over their healthcare proposal in front of managers so they can report that back to corporate.

Same here!!

I'll tell them I would pay 50% less than zero. That should get them to fry the computer as they implement the numbers into the system.

^^That's the kind of math I like!!^^ HAHAHA

I think this idea has been in many proposals but the Teamsters want that benefit money left intact.

Why even worry about new hires? We should be focusing those raises on part-timers who actually have seniority than waste it on the hordes of new-hire part-timers that wash out after the first couple years

Current workers do come before new hires I agree with that!
