[QUOTE="Mostly Brown, post: 1144447, member: 45169"] Milkman, Thank you for sharing your story. You speak about the UPS I used to know but we all know that's changing everyday. I'm 48 and three years away from my magic number. That doesn't mean I will retire but it's nice to know I have an option. After we went on strike a few contracts back I decided I will never put all my eggs in one basket again. I've started a few small businesses and have had some success in doing so. How did I start these businesses???? It was with the help of my many customers on my pkg route. UPS pkg drivers see every different kind of business you can imagine and can usually tell if they are successful, going to be successful or if they don't have a chance. If our eys and minds are open we can learn a lot from our customers. I spoke with my locAL B.A. last week on the phone as I was on road in feeder. He is selling this contract on the promise that our health care will work out. I told him he's out of a job if it gets ugly which many feel it already has....with the lack of communication. You nailed one thing perfectly Milkman that everyone should take notice of. Our health care plan is to take care of us now and in the future. We are damaging our bodies now and many won't show acute signs of damage until they are older. I took care of UPS and they need to be there for me when I need healthcare. I view it as an agreement we came to when I started at UPS. If this contract goes through I will speak to an attorney (again) and maybe we reopen an injury case that I didn't want to make a Workman's Comp issue because of the hassle involved. The injury and surgeries may be something I deal with the rest of my life. [/QUOTE]
