[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1199190, member: 14176"] Have you bothered to read the memorandum of understanding at the end of the national master that gives the Central States Board of Directors carte blanche to change anything within the plan at any time during the five year agreement? But to answer your question, yes, I attended a meeting with a Central States representative last weekend and I'm not sold. The devil is in the details in reference to the aforementioned memorandum. I would prefer to keep that door closed. Once it's opened, there's no turning back. As far as a strike, you presume wrong. I think there is a slim to none chance of a strike or lockout. Not much chance of that when the company and union are in bed together. On the off chance it does happen and we strike or are locked out, I will most certainly have benefits. COBRA would apply in that circumstance, albeit expensive. [url]http://www.cga.ct.gov/2004/rpt/2004-R-0868.htm[/url] Are you saying that this new contract provides us health care if we strike? How could that be if that contract expires, and then we subsequently go on strike???? What circumstances would precipitate a strike while under contract??? "The Hammer".??? [U][I][B] LOL!!!![/B][/I][/U] For the rest of the country who isn't familiar, "The Hammer" is a clause in the Central Region Supplement that allows us to take a strike vote and walk on a regional level. It's never happened and it wont. In the end our efforts in voting no may be deemed for not, but I believe we have already reaped benefits in the form of "healthcare plan enhancements" that most certainly would have been withheld otherwise. Take a deep breath and calm yourself. It's going to be alright. Either way, you're not scaring me. [/QUOTE]
