[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5652234, member: 49065"] If they have to use COBRA so what ..450 dollars a week for the same coverage, the International's strike fund check should cover it for that week and any other that follows... Does L177 have their own individual strike fund on top of the Internationals? Back in "97" no one was worried about their Health and Welfare, most of us knew that the International was close to being bankrupt...We did not get a check from the Union till the second week (55 Dollars), by then the strike was almost over. In my building we only had two that crossed only on the first day. The Company had their managers and supervisors called our homes asking why we were not at work. Actually heard somewhere that a package care driver got fired 3 times on the first day. I admit there was a lot of confusion when the strike was called, no one thought it was going to happen..there was no practicing picket lines...Hell on the first day I showed up and our Strike Captain didn't even know were to set up. The only experience most of us had was that one day strike back in "94", I was already in the building on the clock when Carey called it...from my understanding there were a lot of locals that did not strike over the over 150 pound weight increase, most of them were ran by big Hoffa supporters, who were still mad that he got into Office.. One thing for certain the Company was pissed... :cigarsmoker: I believe they even tried to sue... [/QUOTE]
