[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1113974, member: 31414"] [B][U]IMHO, this decision is a serious compromise on the part of our Union negotiating committee to reach a quick settlement on this contract[/U][/B]. Each Local across the country will be left to negotiate their individual health care plans. While in some area Locals, healthcare coverage may be good, other areas and Locals may have very poor coverage in the form of co-pays, high deductibles, unknown increases, etc.. In other words, there will be NO CONSISTENCY or ASSURANCE in the level of coverage on a NATIONAL level. Also, what about retiree healthcare coverage?.... If this is one of the "Creative Solutions", I say VOTE NO on the contract.....at least until we are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN about what type of healthcare insurance we ALL will be receiving during the DURATION of our new contract. While the full-time employees at our Local currently have excellent health insurance with a local healthcare insurance plan, that plan is to be re-negotiated at the end of our current contract.... ANYTHING could happen in the "Local" re-negotiations of the FT healthcare. I was personally informed by the BA that negotiates the FT healthcare plan at our Local, that he will no longer be able to maintain the same level of benefits at the end of this contract.
