[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 1154144, member: 11315"] A) Part time "poverty" is not even an issue. You are at the bottom rung of the ladder. WE knew that when we signed that application way back then. You get your annual raises, you get your "free" healthcare, you get the OPPORTUNITY to increase your pay by either going into management, staying PT for healthcare plus a second job or staying the course and going full time driving. It's not some evil plan by UPS to keep the man down !! When you walked into orientation, you knew the cards you were dealt plus you saw the dealer's cards too. B) As for healthcare, The whole healthcare system in America is broken. I know that. You know that. UPS doesn't want the responsibility anymore, and you can't blame them. You cry of inferior coverage now, but you have better healthcare than 99% of the people you will walk by this weekend. Yet, we are spoiled because of low co-pays, deductibles and the like. Let me remind all of you, its called healthcare INSURANCE.[U] Insurance is there in case of emergencies[/U] !!!! We are lucky enough to not have to pay anything to be covered by it. But sorry to break it to you, If you use it and it's not an emergency, you will have to pay a little out of pocket. Honestly, probably less than the 99% of the people you will walk by this weekend. I understand the retiree's thoughts on this. Raising the price of healthcare on them is not good. I know now why I am correct in saving extra money in a 401k because I can not be sure if my pension will cover my expenses in 18 years. I hope most who read this will see how saving some of your income is crucial !!!! [/QUOTE]
