[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1088830, member: 4886"] You may be right.. Back in 1997 the UPS Mgmt committee didn't go on any offensive in termsof public relations. Frankly they were stunned at how the PR battle was waged and won by the teamsters. I don't think that they will make that mistake again. I think if UPS said, we signed a contract back in (sorry can't remember year of ratification of last contract) that spelled out that UPS pays for it's retirees out of it's own pocket 6250 per year and then the contract has us split the cost above that threshold and that's what we are still proposing. In the past x years we have had people retired who pay only $50/month for insurance for a family I think a ton of people would be out there saying, where do I sign up? If they then counter what they give compared to our nearest rivals (FDX Grd, FDX Express) I think that it will be more in UPS favor. Also, if UPS shows how much we have our mgmt pay for insurance and have for years. I again think you will blunt any criticism from the public. Again, just my opinion. But I really don't see UPS mgmt committee not having a PR offensive campaign planned out. (Unlike the when it occurred in during the work stoppage). [/QUOTE]
