So who started the false narrative that retiree benefits will be cut with any buyout? It wasn't the company.

If it wasn't the company, this type of false information is not helpful. It fuels mistrust. If you cannot believe both sides, who can you trust?

 

[nWo]

Trust nobody not even yourself.

Well, to be fair, we don’t know what is true and what is false yet. And the no insurance is partially true if people aren’t qualified for the insurance as they wouldn’t normally have to be anyway.

I have no idea what information the international has that we don’t currently, and I’m not certain who or why health insurance has become a talking point.
Let’s wait and see.

 

[nWo]

Nah. They will cut the route and fold your work into two different routes

They could do that now if they wanted. They don't have to wait for me to quit.

 

[Manifesto]

Yeah, but it's still going to be cheaper with less drivers. Cut a bunch of routes now and you've got drivers at top pay working in the building and the bottom seniority from all sorts forced out. Lose a bunch of top pay drivers, you still have drivers going out heavy but you don't have many or any bumping into the sorts so the sorts are back to being run by more employees making lowest pay.

I first spotted the healthcare scare on FB. It was a Teamster posting but there are many.

I have no doubt, have you heard of the Feeders news network?

If your supplement says you are eligible for retiree healthcare the you should still be eligible. I don't see how they could change that.

 

[MyTripisCut]

It’s called an agreement. We will give you X and you will relinquish Y.

You said it in your first paragraph. Hypothetically speaking, of course, of "buyouts."

If you were to take a "buyout" and were not eligible, either through age or years of service, for healthcare, then you would most likely lose your healthcare.

Teamcare has a one punch per week to keep healthcare. And you need to have a certain number of years of service, and/or be a certain age, to be eligible for the retiree healthcare. So, if a 50 year old with 20 years of service were to take a "buyout," they would not be eligible to keep their healthcare or to apply for retiree healthcare.

Again, hypothetically speaking.

That would not change. The speculation is that drivers who are not yet eligible for the retiree healthcare.

UPS would not care if someone took the retiree healthcare. They no longer have anything to do with it.

Yep. I don’t know of any other way it could be taken. Either way I’m gonna guess there’s lawsuits coming.

Yea but who would go for that?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

X agrees to rip your eyebrows off

 

[Thebrownblob]

Yea but who would go for that?

Everyone covered under a collective bargaining agreement?

We collectively…. Agreed

That's just reality.

UPS just ed with everyone before a 3-day weekend.

Not sure what to think about this yet although it is curious, they announced it before they revealed it.
Maybe they just wanted to see what the international would say or do?
Anybody’s guess right now.
