I'd like to move on. But short of the sub par raises, this is the only thing the clueless seem to be able to bitch about.
No concessions my :censored:

Another important issue getting zero attention and traction.
They are not reducing the rate. Just like every other year, they won't be using more than the 50 cents agreed to so why not put that money that is not being used and add it to base wage.
That 50 cent raise going to the hourly raises cost the company and both of us a lot more money than that going into the healthcare
or the pension
They are going to use most of it but why bargain for a dollar or dollar fifty if it will never be used.?
It may not be used today but the price of health Care has went through the roof

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Exactly, it doesn’t make sense. They’re just moving funds around. Seems sketchy
I'm not a fan
The rate was guaranteed to not exceed the 50 cents per year by Teamcare. The contract between the Teamsters/Teamcare/UPS guarantee the rates for the life of the agreement. Again, if you have a guarantee that the rate won't go higher, why negotiate for more.

So they will eat the cost if expenses go up?
Healthcare is going for the roof
Even though the plan may look good for now or maybe the next year or two five years is a long time at the rate that healthcare is going up.
They agree that the cost increase will not exceed 50 cents, so yes, they eat the cost after doing actuary studies.
The Plan went up less than 50 cents during COVID. What catastrophe is going to pop up worse than that for the healthcare world? AGAIN, the healthcare guarantees the rate won't go any higher each year for the next 5 years.
And what happenes to the next contract?
Health Insurance Costs Are Squeezing Workers and Employers
As premiums rise faster than wages, workers face greater cost sharing, leaving some underinsured.

Are you kidding? How about we talk about this in 5 years when a new contract is going to be voted on? This next 5 years is guaranteed. Let's wait to see what the 2027-2032 contract says. I will long be retired at that point. If it says they need 75 cents, then I'm guessing we will vote no if there is only 50 cents on the table. Crazy to worry about something happening 5 years from now in regards to numbers. Members would need more info closer to that time.
I get it but if you retired and they rage your health care premiums what would you think about that?
You can't keep kicking the can down the road

Well, not unless you’re the federal government.
