[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3988078, member: 49065"] The weekly Pension contributions would be similar, maybe more or less depending on your location. Trust me on this that from previous history I know just how much UPS would be willing to do to get out of covering their collective bargaining costs associated with our Pensions even with a Union Contract. I know generally how Health and Welfare plans are run..(Money in/Money out) and the health of the HW plans depends on their annual costs, that is why over the last two contracts provisions have been put into place for the last two years of each one to provide additional contributions from our hourly pension increases. Last contract we did not have to use them, this contract I expect it will be pretty much the same. We would of qualified under the Affordable Health Care Act as having a "Cadillac" Health and Welfare package and would of been subject to added taxes. I believe the current leadership lobbied out of that during the Obama years. I agree with you that most of our friends ad neighbors have taken a hit over the years with the rising costs of health and welfare, it has eaten away most of any raises and cost of living increases and given rise to the corporate america elimination of traditional pension plans and placing more of the burden on the employee under a 401k plan (matched or not).
