[QUOTE="Big Brown Driver, post: 1092280, member: 28722"] Like I said, Im merely looking at it in another light without having a knee-jerk reaction to what UPS proposes. And no, had anyone but Obama been elected, corporate taxes would not have been increased the levels he is proposing. Thats almost a guaranteed fact. Corporations all over America are bracing for huge increases in taxes. Many smaller companies may go under or lay off many folks just to stay afloat. Now, on the flip side, yes, I know damn well that some of the higher ups will get outrageous salary increases despite so called "troublesome times". No system or company is perfecet. There will always be some form of greed going on in any entity if humans are involved. Instead of crying foul, we should ask UPS WHY? Why do they want to make us help pay for coverage. All this speculation and us vs them mentality does nothing for us or our company. Id be willing to take a decreased pay raise if it meant keeping our coverage. Im willing to compromise. One reason the big 3 went bankrupt, or whatever you wanna call it, is that the UAW kept demanding and demanding and demanding, with no compromise. Now look at those companies and all the workers who lost it all. We may not like the crap corporate does or proposes, but instead of saying Eff-U as a knee jerk reaction, we need to sit down and at least try to see it from their point of view and make a compromise that benefits all us.
