Took an unpaid paternity leave for a week, insurance lapsed

[clean hairy]

My wife seems to get pregnant when I work alot of OT. Maybe something to do with that??

Fedex driver, or the mailman?

You can do fmla entirely online at upsers.com hsrc
No need to talk to anyone. No excuse not to do fmla. It takes a few minutes and your done.

Not FDX. They're still catching up from peak.
Probably got the wrong house as well.

I thought everyone knew this info.

Filing for fmla was easier then getting a beard waiver.
Come on people!

A fellow upser said his dad worked for ABF and Roadway. When he was a kid his dad had to work X amount of hours per week to secure benefits for that week so sometimes they had to cancel dentist and other healthcare appointments because he didn't quite make the minimum.

I forgot to tell you why;

They needed 3 punches a week.... under the C-6 Central States plan.


People seem to think we all have equal Teamster benefits.

There are different levels of participation, based on what "level" can be negotiated.

Same with the pension. Not every Union organized company can afford the best.

Don't do that. Have more kids. We need someone to keep paying into Social Security when we retire.

Along with more and more privately owned for profit prisons.

how many

Every other job I've had the benefits stayed in effect as long as you were actively employed.

Me too

I remember when we found out that other ups locals had the C6 plan two contracts ago while we had the company plan.

It's amazing what info is not shared between locals (and translated to the members) when contract talks are going on. I'm guessing that's why folks think we feel entitled.
We always want better things for our fellow upsers and all Teamsters.

Why does the union allow a plan that terminates coverage so quickly? Have they never experienced being out of work for any reason?

Good question.

What did your Local Union say.... when you asked them that.... in person ?

Blamed the higher ups. After all we only have to work once a month here for all benefit money to be paid by ups. So logically you’d think once a month would get you those benefits since they’re paid for.

Profit for the insurance company, additional funds for Teamsters

Seems to me, a simple absence code could be entered into the system to maintain employment status.

FMLA may absorb all but 1 week of your vacation but it's a whole lot better than losing thousands of dollars otherwise.

Fyi...I was told by an investment professional I know that you can always declare medical bankruptcy if the medical costs are impossible to overcome. It doesn't touch your personal assets nor does it ruin your credit.

Something to keep in mind. The medical profession is not going broke.

Pay your bills.

You think Wally has ever been to a Union Meeting?
