I wish I was wrong. Prove me wrong by calling Teamcare and asking them.

That way you’re just not bany the drum on a message board. Make the call and get actual information and report back to your union brothers and sisters.

Teamster Strike Benefits

UPS Teamsters are preparing for a possible strike at UPS on August 1. Here's what you need to know about strike benefits.

www.upsteamstersunited.org

“During a strike, TeamCare, which covers about half of UPS FT Teamsters and nearly all PT Teamsters, will cover H&W at no cost. Other fund policies vary, ask your fund or local union. “

There will still be COBRA or something similar at the very least.
@Thebrownblob what is the disagreement? Are you talking about the 1/2 of the FT people that do not have Teamcare?

No need for cobra which is pretty expensive if you’re in teamcare, you will be covered if you are a striking union member. I am not certain of other plans.

That's what I thought @Foreshadowing was saying.

If you and teamcare will be covered but if you are a scab you will not be covered if you cross the line

No, he’s under the impression teamcare isn’t covering if we go on strike. He’s incorrect.

 

[Pullman Brown]

If you and teamcare will be covered but if you are a scab you will not be covered if you cross the line

That also means if you get hurt on the job etc.. you aren’t covered. Get in a accident and get hurt not covered unless you get on cobra which is expensive.

If we walk out the moral to the story is do not cross

At 12 AM, August 1 UPS is no longer paying and our contract will be up, and if we do not have an agreement, there will be no money being paid. Into teamCare by UPS.

So you will not have health benefits if you cross the picket line, but of course scabs would still have work comp because that’s a law

We're covered

 

[Thebrownblob]

We're covered

Yep and it’s been known for quite some time.

OK Thanks. I listed to that video several days ago and chatted with the guy who made it, but didn't recall any of its content.
If you go back to posts 1 to 10, you'll see I said "It's pretty effed up that a person loses their health benefits if there is a strike".
Doesn't matter if it's covered.

We don't lose our health benefits if you want to strike because the benefits covered by the teamsters

I understand it now. Thanks.
Won't come to that though. (hopefully)

You old heads coming out strong on this. I get it you have been through this before. Cheers!

It's a very dangerous game of chicken

There isn't too many of us left. What have heard from some younger members disturbs me

Nope has nothing to do with that. We did not get benefits paid last time I was on strike. Matter fact, I was not even in teamCare I had Aetna insurance then.

Im talking about the whole situation in general.
