well they need to cut from somewhere because of Corporates big debacle fo trying to buy TNT of europe. nice job Atlanta....
What if a union member's spouse had good insurance through their employer? Perhaps another union for example. I see no problem with UPS asking them to use that plan. This is what I thought they were up to.
You're forgetting how much many other plans suck. I worked for a large fortune 100 company before I resigned to go full time with UPS. They offered 3 health care plans all of which sucked. The cheapest one cost $260 every 2 weeks for a family and had an annual deductible of $1,500.00 per person with ridiculous copays.
Better them than us
That's what they said in Eastern Europe in 1939 !!
In Mass. someone with no insurance gets a fine/jail time .
Obumacare states that someone with no insurance gets another fine .
Would this be a double tax for this same thing ?
My wife's employer insurance does not provide coverage to spouses that have an option of employee coverage elsewhere. I thought that's what this was about at first too. Im shocked they're just dropping them altogether.
where are u getting your info? All spouses are NOT being dropped. Only ones whose employer offers health care coverage.
Fed Ex did this a few years ago when they stopped offering the employee spouse tiered plan. To cover your spouse you must choose the family medical plan whether you have children our not.It amazes me how FedEx seem to skirt any scrutiny in the media. We obviously have a much better PR dept than UPS. Our mgr this morning actually brought up the UPS insurance situation I had to inform we did this several years ago.Yes I realize this now. In regards to where I was getting it from, almost every news story about this issue for the first couple days. UPS did a real bad job at controlling this PR failure, and many news outlets ran with it, and they didn't include a lot of facts.It wasn't until the fourth or fifth article I read about this, that the writer actually put in a quote from UPS's memo, stating that they would still be covering unemployed and non-covered spouses. Some articles even fail to mention it doesn't affect union employees. I've had to explain the situation to a lot of people who know I work for UPS.Not sure if it is just a really bad PR situation, or the right trying to control the conversation and blame Obamacare. Either way, as usual the media was short on facts and tall on the sensationalism.
Yes. Where did u hear about this? All of the stories I have read clearly state all non union employees. I guess in some places this could include a few other positions than management.
