[QUOTE="oldupsman, post: 1074178, member: 42268"] [b]Re: Health Benefit Shock[/b] Let me try to clear this up Hoax. I'm in a similar situation. I've had UPS health care since the strike of 76. I have never been part of Teamster Health and Welfare. My pension is with the Teamsters. Whenever I got a letter from Teamster health and welfare I used to laugh and throw it in the trash. Still do. When I retired I kept the exact same health plan that I had all those years with UPS. But now I had to pay 50.00 a month. For both me and my wife. I've been paying a whole 600.00 a year for my health benefits. Same bennies I had as a driver. Plus free prescriptions. Alot of people don't know this. Not even managers. A week before I retired a new DM came in from out of district. We were talking about me leaving and health care came up. He couldn't believe what I was telling him. Now at 65 I'm on my own. I've been waiting for this to end sooner or later but like Milkman I never expected that kind of increase. But I still haven't received that letter. Maybe it won't be happening in my district. And it is part of the contract. So it has to be negoiated by the local. But even if it happens I can't complain. I've been riding that gravy train for 6 years. [/QUOTE]
