[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1110883, member: 4653"] You might have to if the union doesn't put its money where its mouth is. What are you going to do if the union caves and gives UPS what they want? Are you going to quit your job of 20+ years because you are forced to pay for health insurance? This is the point that has me worried. Most employees are not going to quit their jobs of 20+ years because they now have to pay for insurance and UPS is betting on this. Still, how can the company throw this at us? We have been faithful employees for 20+ years. As a driver I give everything I have to the job. From Monday-Friday my entire life is consumed by this company. I have never had to pay anything towards insurance my entire career. UPS grows profits quarter after quarter(with VERY limited exceptions) that other large-cap companies can only dream off. Why should we have to pay now? After all this time? Hell, the company was profitable every year of the Great Recession. I'm all for corporate profits because I believe its healthy for the US economy, but I believe UPS employees should be better off or at least equal in the next contract and not worse off. I would settle for equal because the last contract was settled in good economic times and the SSSS hit the fan economically shortly after and UPS had to deal with a contract settled in good times. However, UPS operated in the worst time since the 1930's. They did so in the black by billions of dollars. Having to pay $90+ a week for health care will make every teamster employee worse off. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
