Article 34 #7 says, " Any employee receiving LTD pursuant benefits to this plan shall be entitled to receive health care coverage in accordance with the
SPD for up to 12 months only." I propose we change this to 24 months minimum!

12 months is the industry norm.

Great idea. I will go one step further.

It should match the length of LTD, which is 5 years.


Imagine.... how devastating a serious health issue (cancer) could wipe out any financial

foothold, you have on life.

While we're on this topic, the pay out on short-term disability is pathetic, and I encourage most guys to get supplemental disability insurance. Can we get this improved? Two hundred dollars a week, are you serious!!

STD is $300/week (before taxes).

 

[thisjobaintforeverybody]

STD is $300/week (before taxes).

Which comes out to be about two hundred dollars a week children!!! Ok, nap time everybody. Yes, Upstate that includes you!!

I netted $270/week; of course, I was smart enough to schedule my surgery and vacation at the same time, so I actually made money.

We get $500/wk plus unemployment (thx to Leadbelly's tip).

What was the tip? I must've missed it.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

What was the tip? I must've missed it.

His state (PA?) pays unemployment even when you are on STD.

 

[MostHelpNeeded]

The Central Region has it.


"Any full-time employee reporting to work and not put to work shall receive six (6) hours’ guarantee."

That's awesome. Maybe I'm naive, but wouldn't that make it easier to negotiate it in nationally? Obviously they're willing to do it. Now make it automatic. They still have some incentive to cut routes, they can save on pension and h+w contributions, but maybe they'll tone it down a little knowing it will cost them.

I say we get rid of teamcare but only in your local. The money we save on offering you nothing since you hate it so much will be dispersed in an additional raise for the rest of us. I'm confident it will pass.
