[QUOTE="doolittle95, post: 1221478, member: 11844"] All the info on new plan benefits can be found here: [URL]http://www.wr177healthcare.com/[/URL] [I]Its a good healthcare plan[/I]. What can't be found here is information on how this plan is being funded. Specifically Teamsters with diversions from our pension contributions. For example out west I paid for the last 5 years of my kick ass healthcare with $1 of my bargained pension increase going to cover healthcare costs instead. That's $2080/year * 5years=$10,400.00. One of many reasons I voted NO on the[I] last [/I]contract. And enough of a reason for me to vote NO on this contract alone. Anyway, if this contract approved then the $1/hour diversion continues (out west at least) [B]plus[/B] additional monies from the newly negotiated pension increases, and the door is open (again) to monies being diverted from the GWI. It adds up to [B]hundreds of millions of dollars [/B]in diverted funds that should b going to shore up our pension. ( I know the fund is GREEN now so don't worry...right?) Additionally, a yes vote will directly affect retirees as they will be paying up to $3600/year more out of pocket for insurance (in years 3,4,5 I believe?) Its important to me to protect retirees as I plan to be one someday. So your choice is vote NO and hope for a better deal before a third vote.(Most BA's will tell you this is a fairytale...I don't know) Or vote YES and live to fight another day, if you choose this option you better get off your A@@ and fight.
