[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1121195, member: 43436"] I doubt this serves as a blueprint for a single, union-controlled health plan. Adding more than a 100,000 employees of different demographics would heavily change the dynamics of the plan. It wouldn't surprise me to see, for example, PTers offered the option of a no-cost HMO with in-network coverage similar to what they currently enjoy (but with the hassles of an HMO), and perhaps the option to buy up to a PPO. ...and if our Presidency was elected through popular vote - as opposed to the electoral college system - he would've likely taken closer to 60% of the vote. (And let's not forget that when more people voted for Gore than Bush, the majority vote had to suffer through the Bush-era Administration ... including the Iraq war.) Not that it matters, really. Over the course of the past two contracts, health care costs have been exploding (and the problem was worse under a Republican-controlled White House/Congress). Only this time the union didn't have the option of putting the CS pension withdrawal & PT toward a PPO system on the table. Let's not keep pretending that heath care costs haven't been an issue for many years, or that UPS's total labor costs aren't catching up to it. [/QUOTE]
