[QUOTE="Frankie's Friend, post: 3985784"] We went to the healthcare meeting. I sat thru every meeting on the proposed cba in 13-14. The Teamcare rep (from Chicago) explained all the changes and what was allegedly better about the new plan, including the clause that if you didnt go out of the provider network for the two years preceeding the members death the member's family will get five years of continued health care coverage at no cost to them. The rep also told us that if you went out of network one time in the two yrs prior to the members death the family's healthcare was no longer in effect, even tho the company plan gave the family a six month grace period. The meeting took place the very day that Obama told Hoffa that they would get no exemption but later changed his mind. At NO time was the issue about the change from one punch per month to one punch per week brought up. In fact, I believe it was in Louisville at Worldport where one of our drivers heard about two drivers switching vacation weeks and the one who had no contributions for the week had a family member get unscheduled surgery and they inherited the whole bill. It was news to many of us [I]after[/I] the fact. It became such an contentious issue that some teamcare reps in other locals walked out before the meeting was over due to the plan getting less valuable with Teamcare vs the company plan we had for decades and those members in attendance were pretty vocal. We were never told. I'm sure the omission was purposeful considering the issue was so volatile. [/QUOTE]
