[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1111400, member: 43436"] How is ObamaCare affecting these talks? UPS is already compliant with the provisions of ObamaCare, which will have minimal short-term costs for its bargaining employees. The dilution of benefits goes well beyond the costs of ObamaCare, let alone the steep co-premiums proposed. We don't know how much ObamaCare will ultimately cost; those on the left say it will cost less than what's already being paid for un/under-insured, ultimately stabling costs; those on the right say it'll cost so much our economy & health care system will collapse. This isn't about ObamaCare. This is about UPS's high labor costs in relation to its competitors, which are reporting high growth while UPS remains stagnant. (Although, as I've already mentioned, my hard work -- more productivity in fewer hours -- lead to record profits and therefore I feel I should be rewarded, at least for now.) BTW, to respond to the previous posting... all nonpartisan surveys show that the country is split evenly on ObamaCare within the margin of error (granted, few -- on both sides -- even know what it's about)... and Obama & the Democrats were re-elected despite the Republicans running on an anit-Obama platform (in fact, the Democrats would control the house if not for Gerrymandering) so it's completely false to say "most people don't want ObamaCare."
