[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1177072, member: 11246"] Not going to bash you for your decision to always go for the raise. I will respond with reasons why I would not always opt for the raise. I do not want to open the door to healthcare being cut. I want the healthcare to be contractually provided by UPS to guarantee no cost to the rank and file. I would rather know my exact pay, benefits and coverage. I do not feel comfortable voting yes on something that does not lay out the exact cost and projected cost. Family of six, over 5 years, with no financial detail....... Nah, not that hungry for money today to open the door to possibly paying more tomorrow. Further more, Part Timers will be taking a pay cut when you factor in the added cost of healthcare, or at the least projected cost of healthcare. There are more ways to skin a cat. If UPS wants to save money on healthcare, the union and UPS could have wording in the contract that allows part timers to opt out of healthcare for a bump in pay. I know a sizable group that are in college on their parents plan. Some of their parents work for UPS. I know part timers that are married to drivers. How much money is being wasted in that situation? There is one creative way to keep more brothers and sisters happy. Also, it isn't all about healthcare and raises. There is also the issue of the entire contract that I do not like. I will take this one step further, I would consider taking the new plan with these two stipulations. One, I get to read the entire plan details. Two, UPS provides it contractually. [/QUOTE]
