[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 1023396, member: 18044"] I'm wasn't advocating joining the Management plan. My point was, UPS was advocating we join some plan of theirs, but [U]not[/U] the one that actually exists! Not the one they, themselves are in! This tells me they have something else in store for us. We can look at the Management plan and wonder what is it about that plan's features that UPS doesn't want us to have so badly that they would go to the trouble and expense of creating a brand [U]new[/U] plan and precipitate a strike over. Teamster sponsored plans had not issued higher benefit schedules in a while. They were due. Perhaps over due. The UPS proposal was to promise we would not get less than our present plan, with that level defined as the level in effect several months earlier. In other words, when the Teamster plans raised their benefit levels, as they soon did, (and have done since,) those increases weren't to be counted. UPS was locking us in at yesterday's rates, to a plan that would probably not see plan improvements since the two rival trustee factions would be constantly of opposite minds. Read up on the legal rules of Collective Bargaining, the list of mandatory subjects, permissive subjects, unfair labor practices in bargaining, failing to bargain in good faith, surface bargaining, refusal to bargain, etc. Good Faith Bargaining is required by Law.
