[QUOTE="browned out, post: 3759518, member: 8105"] I am curious as to why we are only getting 1 side of the story. The UPS/Teamster collusion team has told us their side. We have not heard from actual mechanics. Word is that Retiree Healthcare is still a major road block. These hard working mechanics refuse to throw their retired brothers and sisters under the bus. They also are looking out for their own health care costs when they retire. [B][I]The union said health coverage for a retiree and spouse would increase to [COLOR=#663300]more than [SIZE=7]$19,000[/SIZE] [/COLOR]in the first year under UPS’s proposal. “The company is trying to attack our healthcare benefits,” said UPS mechanic Kevin Gawlik, who works at UPS’s maintenance gateway in Rockford, Ill. “When we get close to retirement age… that’s part of the healthcare package that we need because of the strains we put on our bodies.”[/I][/B] What's next? I will tell you. Friday the UPS freight contract will be voted down. The UPS Ground National agreement will most likely be voted down. Multiple Supplements and Riders will definitely go down by a large percentage. [/QUOTE]
