Same here.at 65 you get kicked off the insurance plan
They pay drivers here with separate checks for each vacation week.
They get paid out before hand.Ok, but is that all on the same day prior to the first week of vacation? Or are they being paid out while you are on vacation?
We lose the free insurance and have to start paying out of pocket for the retiree plan. Which isn't quite as good but still better than most. $150/month for me.We lose our insurance when we retire
Some supplements don't offer retiree healthcare
Yep ... have 2 buy into a plan ...You serious?
$200 for a single and $400 for a married couple.Yep ... have 2 buy into a plan ...
But your wife and family are covered while you are working.......then why would they offer insurance to a spouse than never paid a penny in and never did a minute of union labor.
My friend seems accurate when he said. "when you retire the union drops you like a hot potatoe. They couldn't care less about someone who paid in for 30+ years but they seem to care about my wife.".

It's Teamcare here but it comes directly out of your pension check.My local is a bit different from most. Not Teamcare. I send my check for insurance premium to UPS. Its Aetna insurance.
You get paid before hand if you are still working. If you are retired and have time off left it usually paid out a week or so later.That's what I was thinking. My point was that you would have all the money for vacations about the same time whether you took them as actual vacation time on the books, or if you got paid out in a lump sum upon retirement.

No. Because you are already collecting a pension check and that's bonus money on top.I guess another reason to stay on the books?
If they are retiring and management knows it normally they will pay them all of the checks at once.Ok, but is that all on the same day prior to the first week of vacation? Or are they being paid out while you are on vacation?
. Our Local Joint Council offers retiree coverage, but it is $580 a month for yourself, 680 if you add your spouse. Still cheaper than going on the Exchange looking for a plan. The kick in the ass is the lifetime cap of 500k per person... I will have to some sort of Supplemental to kick in if I get a serious medical conditionSome supplements don't offer retiree healthcare.
I assume you friend is over 65?
He likely is over 65 so has to be on medicare rather than the Union planOK....let's try this....
My friend went to the union hall and said, "...I want to give you money ($200 for retiree...like his wife) the people just straight up said, "nope".
He's never had this much problem giving away money before.
