Progress made in the Third & Fourth Rounds of UPS Contract Negotiations

But everyone thinks we are crazy for being mad about it still. Seems we were victims of a concession that they gave into years before and we got stuck eating it.

You are.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Shows you how much you know, I voted "no".

Do you guys have a deductible this year or not? Was supposed to, but since ours doesn't show going up, was wondering if yours did.

Because the fund has more money than the expected it to have..

Haven’t seen it. When does it kick in? January or August?

I thought you posted that the contract fight wss over one issue, healthcare. So there were other negative things to vote no on? Shocking dude

Hey, this is a negative thread, take the positive attitude and shove it where the tadpoles swim out of!

January

 

[Frankie's Friend]

Boo hoo

Theres the attitude dude. Stick the boo in your hoo

That part is. But not the extra things that have to be paid out of pocket. Thankfully my family hasn't had a big need for using the insurance. But i know several people they have been getting beat up with $25 here, $20 there. And it shouldn't be that way.

That was the main cause, not the only cause. Has to be all or nothing for you, I guess.

I deal with the hand I'm dealt, don't dwell on the past.

 

[yadadamean116]

I don’t care about raises. Cut my pay and give me my beard!

Thing is, the bigger the medical problem is, the better the insurance is. They do nickel and dime you on some things, nothing that all insurance doesn't do, though.

This issue right here is why pensions will not be the same nationwide. Because nobody wants to take the cut, so others can have more. And raising them to the top payer is monetary suicide.

You can't make all the pensions equal many places have put some of their raises into the pension and are making less per hour.

Which is like putting a band aid on an open gash. Did nothing put take hard earned money from members

 

[Frankie's Friend]

Good for you and sucks for me. All you "yes voters should have got stuck with the original health care you agreed to.

Shows you how much you know, I voted "no".

Uh ok dude

Depending on how it's done, easily remedied.

We are having the same issues here also. But what many do not realize is, how much it saves the company and screws you over. That over time money goes back into the companies pocket. They are also not paying social security tax on that amount.

You are getting screwed out of thousands of dollars a year and losing money on your social security.
