[QUOTE="Delivered, post: 1090730, member: 518"] Got the same thing... Day of action coming up.... The IBT sent out an Email to Union Leadership today asking us to share this with Union Stewards and Union members. IBT Talking Points For UPS Teamster Stewards Our National Negotiating Committee led by General Secretary-Treasurer hall has made progress at the bargaining table. Issues important to us are being addressed, such as: Harassment, including: - Adequate staffing levels and enforcement - Strengthening 9.5 language - Addressing the use of technology SurePost - Limiting the use of the U.S. Postal Service - Adding protections so more work goes to package drivers Addressing issue of overweight and oversized packages Strengthening pensions Part-timers - More full-time opportunities - Increasing the starting wage rate The company is going to try to sway you and convince you to accept a contract that is less than what is fair. We all need to be united and engaged, or the company will win. The Company Health Care Proposal would cost our Members: - For full-timers, that’s $2.25 an hour in the first year. For part-timers guaranteed 17.5 hours a week, that’s $5.14 an hour in the first year. - By the end of the contract, you would be paying nearly $7,000 more a year, or over $130 a week. - That’s $3.32 an hour for a full-time worker in the final year of the contract. For part-timers, the cost is $7.53 an hour. - Over the life of the agreement, it will cost you nearly $30,000. - For those of you in company plans, you will be paying those increased costs for drastically reduced benefits. - The company is whining that most Americans pay for their health insurance. But we can’t buy into their spin. Yes, most Americans pay a portion of their health insurance. But most Americans don’t work for one of the most profitable companies in the world. UPS made $4.38 billion in net profits last year. That surpasses their record year of 2007. How do you think they got there? You. UPS needs to reward the people who make them profitable. We’re not going to roll over. We are going to show the company that their proposal to take away our health care is unacceptable. We’re going to mobilize. There will be a National Day of Action on Thursday, Feb. 21. The IBT is going to send us stickers to wear. The company thinks they can get away with attacking our health care. We won’t let them. We’re putting the company on notice that record profits mean a fair contract. [/QUOTE]
