Your guess is as good as mine on that one although I don’t see them ever breaking the union.

Team care is awash in money, they’ve done a marvelous job managing the funds
I wish they ran some of these pension plans like they run Teamcare

Now cause the company pays for it.
Actually it's part of my wages I just don't see it, just likey pension.

Maybe cause they have an endless supply coming from UPS. How long can they survive if that tit is dry?

And they will continue to order I will be standing with my picket sign. I was told when I started this job I would miss a lot of family functions including the holidays but that my health and my family‘s health retirement would be taken care of. As well as a great wage. Definitely one of the three things I will walk for, especially healthcare.

If you’re not getting any wages. Do TTKU
You aren't getting it.

I’m just talking hypothetically if they were to hold out and break the union. I seriously doubt that’s going to happen, but what if?

We pay every week through a collective bargaining agreement.

You aren’t. If they break the union although highly unlikely what happens to your benefits as well as mine?

Like I said I’m not certain but regardless if some sort of lockout or strike happens or even if UPS were to be bought by another company the provisions of the contract and any subsequent agreement will have to be honored.
Got my friend I cannot answer.
But if somebody very wise once told me do not retire before a new contract retire after it

Wait a minute what contract? It expires July 31st so everything is null and void right?

Article 34 (master) Health and Welfare contributions...the Company is obligated by the contract to pay a weekly amount to our Healthcare providers...
About 500 a week for us Full Timers and I believe that the Part Timers get around 350.
Part of our compensation package...

I get that that’s the current supplement in the current contract right? So when that contract expires in August then what?

You’re talking about a contract and about health insurance and pension issues they are not quite the same your entitlements are good for life. That is what the bail out was pretty much all about because if the fund had gone completely bankrupt the government was going to step in anyway. And even though UPS paid a large amount of money to withdraw from central states they are still deep in liability even now. And that will carry-on even if they had no more union or were bought by another Company.
