[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1372384, member: 17969"] There are many problems with our "new" insurance in the west. For starters, employees with children who have diabetes have to settle for the "cheapest" form of insulin, as the insulin that was previously covered under our UPS plan is NO LONGER COVERED by the west insurance plan. Its a struggle for parents as their childrens doctors are saying they shouldnt be on the "cheap stuff". If parents want the stuff they have been getting, most of the cost comes out of the EMPLOYEES pockets. Secondly, another little secret with our insurance in the west. IF you dont have ONE compensatable hour in a workweek ( IE: a driver takes an R week) your insurance is CANCELLED for that week! If you are out of vacation, FHP or any other form of holiday pay, and you need a week off, your insurance will be CANCELLED immediately that week for you and your dependents. We have already seen this happen. Its no mistake. Its in the plan. Feeder drivers who have seniority who sometimes takes a week off with no pay will be affected by this clause more than others. Gee, I wonder why Andy M didnt mention this at the insurance meetings or anywhere else for that matter? Look it up. TOS. [/QUOTE]
