[QUOTE="rpoz11, post: 1195538, member: 1622"] What has been discussed throughout our nation, and suggested thru the news media since 2007, that reports of escalating costs of health care was "their reason" or an excuse to exit an unregulated industry. UPS didn't just decide overnite that getting out of the health coverage business was a new decision. The ACA and the forthcoming Laws incorporated into it forced UPS to make a decision as to whether or not to take the financial hit for providing such a plan. I personally don't believe that they were entertaining the future possibility that our Teamster members would revolt and have it be an amicable separation. They had a decision to make. I am not promoting corporate UPS's decision to take the direction they did. However, I do believe that this decision was what they had to take. Now, the company has had a neutral stance (loosely stated) with the Union. Over the years, we have both been good for business and their profit. Certainly, this all is a very complex issue. What could have transpired is that our IBT leaders could have addressed this earlier with the members. This decision could have had far better results. The problem is is that our Gov't has had their hand so deep into rewriting the future Health Care industry, that inviting in Unions across America from the beginning would have derailed their sole intent. This whole process is a Tornado with no direction. We all could have resolved this years in advance, but for some reason, and may all of you please call the IBT about this, is that our IBT has decided to stand on the sidelines for 5 years and allow this whole thing to spiral out of control. We decide by our votes as to what outcomes we desire. If this is what you want as our future Health Plan, then by all means approve it. If this is NOT what you want as our future Health Plan, then by all means Vote NO. It's all up to us and our Vote. [/QUOTE]
