[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 585119"] I'm curious about what the insurance plans are down in the states right now. I KNOW UPS' insurance plan in Canada SUUUUUUUCKS. I've worked with smaller companies with a much better plan. I know, at least it's something, but there's something wrong when a company that makes less then $1mil a year gives better benefits then a multibillion dollar company. Not to mention you folks down in the US would be in the same boat as us and taking a pretty crappy pay cut. We make around $24 something an hour here because of our 'free health care' which isn't actually free. Not to mention when you get hurt you can kiss an entire day goodbye because it'll take you at least 4 hours in the emergency room to see a doctor (that's if you're bleeding to death) and likely a few days to see your family physician. It's good for people without benefits bad for people with benefits. I think UPS wouldn't go for it since then they'd have to fork out a premium every month more then likely. I think the teamsters wouldn't want it either because it'd give them a major headache in the next contract negotiations and could very easily end up being a reason for a strike. [/QUOTE]
