[QUOTE="browned out, post: 4176405, member: 8105"] The argument was made during the 2013-2018 negotiations. UPS Teamsters were adamant and disgusted about what was proposed. We pushed back and stemmed the Teamsters Teamcare garbage deductible every year and some of the increased RX cost increase back then. You are correct in the fact that TeamCare is garbage compared to our prior plan. Here is the lie. 'we are keeping the same great plan at no additional cost to us' It was a blatant lie. If anyone thinks an extra $800 is not an increase in cost they are mistaken and misled. Who gives a sh#t that health care is expensive? Teamcare is flush with cash and reserves. The UPS dividend has gone up every year. UPS is posting record profits even with RPCDs pulling most of the T-S shifts. There is absolutely no reason to hammer UPSers with increased Health Care Costs. Stop counts, Stops per hour, and pieces per car are all up. Preloaders are loading more packages per car than every before. Loaders are also doing exponentially more work in less time. This is all well and good...but There is no valid reason to raise our deductibles by 80%. [/QUOTE]
