[QUOTE="anonymous6, post: 1113272"] this morning i heard that they are DONE with 9.5 and harassment language but sorry , don't know the details.( guessing and hoping that there is more teeth to it ). still stuck on wages and healthcare. i'm in feeders and work 12 hrs a day so 9.5 doesn't apply but I do have empathy for my package brothers. my bones are tired as it is. harassment is not so much prevalent either. for the most part I work the methods and stay safe and ignore the harassing. wages should go up for everyone at least 10-15% over the life of the contract since the co made over $20,000,000,000.00 in profits over the last 6 years. regarding the healthcare issue. this is the wildcard. i just don't know the real and projected increase in costs to the company in the next 10 years. they may have a valid arguement. when a 5 mile ambulance ride for my wife is $1700.00 and 3 days in the ICU is $38,000.00 it kind of makes you scratch your head. our prescriptions run $1500 a month. that's $18,000.00 a year. dr visits run $175 per. i had to go to ER last year with a severe asthma attack and that was $3800. these costs can't be controlled by the co. and another thing. FED EX has to be unionized to make it a level playing field. UPS can't raise rates and compete when the competition is paying half the wages we receive. [/QUOTE]
