[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1202145, member: 42691"] As well as I did. What hurts is those of us in the Central Region, who have been under Central States healthcare for decades now, will have all of the newer Teamsters come into Teamcare with superior benefits. As it was explained to us by Teamcare executives, they needed to get those newer workers into Teamcare first, and then, in the next contract, they will work to get our benefits to the same level as the incoming people. Do they really think that will work? Does two-tiered wages mean anything to these people? At best, the better benefits enjoyed by the newcomers will be hammered to the level we have always had. At worst, we will all get hammered. The worst case sounds most likely. I can actually understand why Teamcare would want all of the extra members into the plan. And indeed, some of our benefits have improved. But having a decent plan for the senior members, and a better plan for newer members, under the same plan is just wrong. It is not the 'union' way. Oh yeah, Article 17 remains the same, even with 'cardinal offenses' into the language. We've already had that, and what good has it done us? [/QUOTE]
