[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 1133939, member: 37112"] Thanks for the kind words. I don't think it's a great deal but I believe it's a fair deal. And yes I saw the MOU that contains basic legal language that is present in every Union sponsored H&W plan. And in those plans occasionally benefit levels do change if and when necessary. But they don't change at the level some posters are fearing. The TA calls for the funding levels necessary from UPS to provide the benefits advertised. They are similar to what is currently offered but do contain additional costs for those that seek service [B]only[/B]. No cost whatsoever if you don't need medical attention. That is better than paying any co-premium and that's what UPS was offering. The old plan with the high levels was [B]done[/B]. Show me another plan at any employer that doesn't require cost sharing with their employees. UPS management pays beaucoup co-premiums. I've been under a no-cost union plan for over thirty years that could do all the nasty deeds you're warning about, but they haven't because responsible leaders negotiated sufficient contribution rates to keep high levels of coverage levels and controlled costs through good management. It happens because the Union trustees actually care about the members. Wow, even without TDU's help, our locals guys give a damn. What a novel concept, a concept that happens in union halls throughout this country, even in yours, even as you and your new found friends show your appreciation.
