[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1196277, member: 31414"] anonymous..... I had many mixed emotions about this whole healthcare issue from the beginning. The part-time Union steward in me naturally wanted to protect the interests of part-time employees. The "business" side of me understands why any business wants to reduce costs and limit potential unknown liabilities (such as this healthcare issue). My steward involvement over the years gave me insight into Union politics, beliefs, and philosophies. In the end, I certainly realize that we all must work together in order to thrive and survive in todays economic environment. Just an FYI.....for me personally, the major issue that I had with this healthcare issue from the beginning was the way it was "delivered" to me. I'm the kind of person that likes to know straight from the beginning the issues involved. I don't like "sugar coating", etc.. Once I saw the H&W contributions that the company was making on behalf of each and every employee......I had a totally different feeling about this whole issue. I believe most part-time employees do not realize that UPS is contributing more for their healthcare each week than what they are earning in wages. We have all entered an era where healthcare may be the greatest expense of our lifetime. Your statement, "we either evolve or we don't" goes right along with a principles that I am intimately familiar with as a biology major.... "Adapt or Die"...."Survival of the Fittest" and "Natural Selection". Our negotiations are finished in my mind, I want the "wounds" of our membership to heal and move forward. We now have to remain diligent in our enforcement of the contract which is not always an easy task. Peace...& God Bless you also... [/QUOTE]
