ok so when we go to negotiate a contract, there's stuff we want from UPS like pay, respectful treatment, pension funding, healthcare. and it's pulling teeth on every single point. right? if healthcare is removed from the list of things we need from UPS, then we can use the bargaining power we would need to put into that to get more pay, pension, and better work conditions? i mean doesn't workers not being guaranteed healthcare benefit management more, because it's then a carrot they can use against us?

So if we just let the government take more of our money, then corporations won't have to spend as much on healthcare, and it will eventually trickle down to us.....

Sure, what could wrong lol.

I find it interesting Democrats are against it unless it trickles up from the middle class to the government first.

Would be nice to know how the leadership stands on this? Also Illegals. All the candidates want open borders and free stuff for those flooding in.

I'm sure they're wringing their hands on this one.


At least there is contract language.... to address the situation.

"(h) In the event that there is any change in the existing national health care legislation or if new legislation is enacted, the parties agree to meet and discuss any ramifications of that legislation on the provisions of this Article."

This will never happen.

No.
They will not look across the table and say " Oh, that's right ,let's give you more of this because we don't have to pay for that.''
When you lose something, you lose. They don't play fair.
