[QUOTE="BrownMonk, post: 2704607, member: 66576"] That's quite an accusation. First, I'm not sure what your Local leadership told you about the Teamcare, but it was told to us that it was a good program that in many ways mirrored the other Plan. The changes would be positive to some and not as good for others depending on what part of the Plan is primarily used. All in all, it is good. I think the Rx is a little less, but given the time they had to get it done, it was a good Plan. The Company dropped the bomb with only a week or two to go in negotiations because they wanted the employees to absorb part of the potential payments and liabilities. Getting the Trustees of Teamcare to come up with a Plan with minimal time and within the rest of their Trust Agreement had to have been a challenge. I'm sure they can make adjustments the next time to make it even better. They have made improvements since the first year as the facts became available to the actuaries. Second, I would love to know how it is obvious that they are using the money for other things? It would be a violation of the law and the government decree that the Teamsters are under. The investigating officer would love to have that if it were true. I'm sure the many yearly audits would have already uncovered that if any part of that was true. Don't you realize how much medical bills cost? You may look at yours and think nothing costs much. Problem is the guy next to you in the building has a wife or kid with cancer treatments that costs $1 million or Hepatitis that costs even more. UPS pays almost $400 a week for each employee and it is all used for payment of services. The reports are online. Try reading them. Nah.......easier to bitch about something you can't figure out.
