UPS has not dropped the 30/60/90 requirement for employees 3/28/13

Oh you mean like the gov taxing the working man to give to the poor so they can buy/mop up the surplus goods and services of the rich (income re-distribution or trickle up) as a price support floor who then pay a cut out to the elected who serve as bosses of the federal and state employees who then administrate the whole thing! Hmmmm hows that working out. Lets see Obamacare hitting ups next year for $68 per person.

Just felt a little extra clarification might clarify the picture just a bit. You know like the working man being tagged with higher insurance costs as well as the actual healthcare direct costs as both are spiraling up. The whole time the profit lines of big insurance, big healthcare, big pharma are hitting record levels on Wall Street. Amazing that in the last 4 years of socialism, Wall Street has been the most happy.

Think people, THINK!

Not in my building. We have been blessed with christian men in our building for the most part that allows for a good environment for everyone. However I do believe if this healthcare issue gets passed on to us, it will turn things for the worse.

And the party that supported Occupy Wall Street defends the economic record of the president who also supported Occupy Wall Street by saying "Hey have you seen the Dow Jones Industrial average lately?" lol

If you look at the recent history, the 2012 Democrats didn't come close to infusing themselves with OWS the way the Republicans did with the Tea Party in 2010. Smart move.

What you dont get is OWS did not support either corporate owned political party. When I attended some of the rallies and marches I NEVER saw a positive sign of any support for Obama or the dems. I did see large puppets that looked like obama though.

Occupy Wall Street was the lefts answer to the Tea Party. OWS was compromised off low-rent dirtbags and Trust Fund Brats that were mad at Daddy. Just a few years after denigrating the Tea party & calling them teabaggers, Obama told a group of OWS protesters that they were the reason he ran for president. They may not have all embraced Obama but Obama sure seem to embrace their anti capitalist agenda.

You don't see Democrats putting up OWS candidates do you?

Yes, the Democrat Party is full of anti capitalists. We just don't call them OWS candidates. We call them Democrats.

And not one says so publicly?

You are deranged.

Democrats live in reality, you don't .

Actually a lot of Democrats have expressed their support of OWS publicly. Everyone from Obama, Pelosi, Reid on down to the left wing news pundits. I don't think it's much of a secret.

Change of thought, originally i said i was goin to vote No unless we got atleast a dollar raise a yr for the lifetime of the contract. With teamsters possible taking over the health care Im goin to need atleast $2 a yr to make sure i keep up with these rising healthcare cost the Union and UPS keep talking about and also to keep up with inflation. I expect co pays and a less than stellar plan in the near future. Im going to need bigger paychecks!

Just saw a guy jogging with a lit cigarette... No seriously. It left me with the same "WTF" feeling I get when I see Union people with good health insurance plans supporting Obamacare.

Just remember if you strike u lose a lot ,the union wont pay you a pay check or pay your insurance or feed your family . no paycheck no insurance no food Just saying FACT the Union only cares about the union dues so they get paid not about the employees

Really, what did we loose in 97? What did we gain? The strike was the best thing that could have happened under the circumstances.

We gained some 22.3 jobs. Lost some volume. Delayed alot of people from going full-time for years, myself included. Most of the customers came back eventually but I'm afraid they'd be less forgiving a second time around. Our services are vital to so many opperations, I just pray for a contract that we can agree on.

Do you donate to any charities to help out the disadvantaged? Just becauase I have excellent benefits doesn't mean I'll snub my nose at the less fortunate. I have been paying taxes in WI for years to support Badger Care long before Obamacare was passed. Quite a few families that work at Walmart are enrolled under the program. Why don't they cover their own employees instead of pushing them on to the tax payers?
