[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1709485, member: 50088"] I think one of the largest issues with the next contract will deal with health care. It's pretty much certain that unfavorable changes are coming do to the ACA. Starting in 2018, our union "Cadillac Plans" will receive a big new tax. This is a tax that was supposed to be in effect shortly after the bill passed but unions won an exemption until 2018. A number of things could happen because of this. Will UPS force us to finally contribute to our health care costs just as most Americans do? Or if the union doesn't agree to that will we have our benefits reduced? Higher co-pays? The easy way out for UPS is to drop down to non "Cadillac" plans. Aside from that, we'll likely see the usual general wage increases. The idea of a future strike I just don't see. Guys driving around delivering cardboard making around $35/hr (in 2017) and still getting health insurance and building a pension proposing a strike would be ludicrous. When comparing to the majority of what Americans are compensated, it wouldn't make sense. [/QUOTE]
