Make the Teamsters dangerous again

Nah, just no deductibles and double your pension for the rest of our lives.

The pension in the west is far superior to the central.

 

[Thebrownblob]

If they have that much, why are you guys paying deductibles?

Because they’re a business? Costs go up and down all the time that money could evaporate depending on the health industry anytime. The people in charge of teamcare have a fiduciary obligation to save as much money as possible. In the case of a strike they clearly see that we are the income and without us there won’t be a teamcare for Long. I have no complaints about teamcare. They’ve even added services while keeping our cost down because they are so well managed. I wish our pension would’ve had the same care.

If Teamcare is so flushed with cash, why not pass the savings to its members?

They do I just told you they add services almost every year. As far as money, I’m not sure how much more they could save me. I pay almost nothing ever.

If they can cover the premiums for that many members for two plus years, the money they save with deductibles is a non-issue.

This strike, if we have on will be different if off the bat if folk are worrying about paying COBRA. It makes starving them out easier.

Also watch the company sue the Teamsters for Teamcare overpayment. If the do have a surplus, that may be overpayment.

If you work the 31st you'll have benefits for that first week.

Everyone knew a strike was possible. They should have been talking with their doctors to move appointments and get prescriptions filled early. It's not hard.

the teamsters are not an international union......ups is an international company.......canada and America are located next to each other on the same continent.thus not international.

Sounds like premium overpayment.

You're dumb as .

When someone has almost $2000,000 worth of medical bills and they only pay $1000 deductible not a lot of complaints.

Guam? Saipan?

The company pays the amount that is negotiated. Clearly if it was to go on two years teamcare would be bankrupt so it would be a moot point. But it does demonstrate that we are very well covered for a very long time, if necessary, which hopefully it’s not.

Not saying you complain or don't, just curious.


Speaking of curiosity, wtf is two-thousand-thousand???

Sorry, should’ve said 2 Million

Why you saying that? Stop coddling the membership.

Two-thousand-thousand is two million.

Two-thousand-thousand is two million.

Thanks for the help.

If I'm the company I sue to freeze those assets in the event of a strike.
