[QUOTE="Teddy Bear, post: 317314, member: 11601"] Hello, you are correct that "O" is but a memory. BobsB explained the OT...I knew I was making a simple thing hard with that one....but just couldn't wrap my mind around it. Not being at the meeting (being a spouse and all) I get my info second hand, from hubby and others that I know....everyone seems to hear things differently. I did hear a little while ago (not from hubby) that Columbus got enough signatures....I signed on here hoping to see that was true.... I understand that freight and parcel have many varied differences. So that you and others that read and post here don't think I am totally stupid I have a cognitave disorder that sometimes doesn't allow me to express exactly what I am thinking....or want to say.....very frusterating to one who has always been quicker than lighting and probably more frusterating to those I deal with....so please bear with me if I take an extra minute to "get it". Unfortunately it is usually the simple things like the OT issue that takes time and the more complex issues I understand quite well. Back to the freight and parcel....I didn't mean to hold out for everything they have...I was refering to the OT....OT after 8....which is the way the contract reads, I just wasn't understanding it. This is a big gain for city drivers and dock workers. I can't speak for OTR as I don't know anything about how they get paid. I am also very interested in the insurance....the savings is fantastic....IF the plan is as good. I think we have exceptional insurance now and would hate to lose the great coverage or have high co pays. All I've seen so far is the papers from last week's meeting which says that the insureance for employee plus spouse will go from aprox $100.00 per week to $100.00 per month which is a saving of about $4,400.00 per year. That's a big savings if it isn't eaten up by co pays and deductibles. And ofcourse I had the question about the insurance being paid while off on disability. I would think...and this is just me thinking.....that the UPSF part of the ins would continue to be paid as usual....after all you are still an employee....but the employee's part would either be the responsibility of the employee or come out of his or her disability check either by deduction or direct pay by the employee. If you did not take out the disability insurance you would be responsible to come up with that money yourself. If you aren't receiving a pay check (or disability check) then UPSF has nothing to take your portion from. Therefore it might be a wise choice to take extra disability insurance out through AFLAC which I believe is offered. I am BIG on having enough insurance coverage.
