What changes do you foresee in the next contract?

[By The Book]

The amount the company pays in is negotiated, not the employees deductible?

I think one would affect the other. More paid in could mean lowering or keeping the deductible the same. Less negotiated, I would think would raise the deductible.

It is a contract issue......ups pays for it....the amount is negotiated in contract

Actually, if we are paying an annual deductible, you can't say that UPS is paying for it exclusively?
What a shame.

Wasn't one a 6 year? So we wouldn't be in the middle of the contract for the 100 year anniversary?

I seem to remember a 7 year. At very least the company proposed it.

Then you "know" the annual deductible isn't, directly, a contractual issue.
It pains me to agree with UpstateNYUPSer, but...

Imo they will reduce our coverage before we pay...or sell us a it's a better plan story..........maybe they will negotiate for ups to pay more money and we'll get a healthcare increase next contract

The biggest difference with the healthcare for me is having to use in network instead of the old plan being able to go to anyone

I think so, but I think it was 6 years so they could put the hurt on us.

But I also believe that if we were in the ups plan we would have been switched to obamacare which I think would be worse than what we have now

That doesn't make me feel better.

Don't worry to much it's only my opinion.....lol

Their obligation ends when they remit their payment.

They don't administer Teamcare.

Here's some wishful thinking maybe next contract they will negotiate more money to improve teamcare

I'm not a filet guy. I like some fat in my steak.

You need more marbling in those rib eyes.

What I would like to see is for 9.5 listers to have auto pay of 3x hourly wage go right into their next weeks pay check.

UPS to streamline the feeder training.

@Major English we need you.

Get rid of 17 I in the central region supplement.

Perhaps but I'll be retired in 3 years and you'll be serving a Happy Meal to my granddaughter.

McDonald's might be out of business by then. I hear they are closing 600 restaurants.

I hear in some locations their getting automated order stations like they have at sheetz.

All I know is that if I have a choice I'd eat at Panera breakfast lunch or dinner over McDonald's. A lot of people are looking for healthier options. McDonald's is kind lumped with smoking.

Took meal at Panera this week. Not a fan of their sandwiches but I enjoy the salads. Good coffee and pastries as well. I was never a big "fast food" eater but I totally cut it out a few years ago. The only one I still eat is chick fil a. Panera is not fast food
