[QUOTE="Signature Only, post: 1221928, member: 21043"] [COLOR=#0000cd][SIZE=3][FONT=comic sans ms]Seems like a decent deal. Heard an interview with Secretary Of Defense, Chuck Nagel, who pointed to the military's largest problem...health care which takes about 10% of the military's total budget. As I understand it, UPS will be picking up the medical premium tab so I'm not sure why its necessary to divert pension dollars. Is it to cover anticipated increases?, pay trust operating expenses? Not happy about the increase for retirees. I would have agreed to wage diversion to help offset the increased retiree costs but then I'm full-time. I can't see part-timers giving up a wage increase, they have it hard enough. The problem is without seeing everything its hard to judge what is fair. UPS makes decent profits and at least in the west, we have good pension contributions. Given the current state of health care, and the nation's struggles to pay and provide access for everyone, is the offer good? UPS likes to knock the bargaining unit in the head whenever it gets a chance. They distort, conceal and lie at every opportunity. If we were treated decently, this would be a slam-dunk.
