[QUOTE="hondo, post: 384552, member: 8661"] First, if someone has outside coverage that would be their primary coverage, with UPS benefits listed as a secondary coverage. Second, since part-timers tend to be younger and healthier, don't you think coverage costs less for them? And helps lower the overall cost per employee? Third, what happens if outside coverage is lost (mommy and daddy or spouse loses coverage), or a girlfriend or wife gets knocked up? Life happens. What then, do they have to give up $2-3/hour? Quit and go on public aid/welfare? Fourth, what about part-timers stuck with a long wait for a full-time job (I'm sure that's never happened @ UPS) Health care benefits are one of the reasons for union representation. It's part of the package, man. If you're so concerned about part-timers not being adequately compensated if they don't "wish to take" the health care coverage, why don't you take it upon yourself to find them a non-union job that pays better? I hope you can see the mess that would be created by two-tier pay/benefit packages. [/QUOTE]
