[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2418235, member: 14176"] A strike authorization was never required, because the Union was sitting on the same side of the table as the Company, negotiating against the membership. The fix was in from the beginning, when the Company realized that Union could not allow all UPS employees into the company healthcare plan, because to do so would be the demise of many small local and regionally autonomous healthcare plans across the country. Many of the "talking heads" on this site for the status quo tell us that "the company wanted out of the healthcare business", I don't believe that they cared either way. The company simply wanted us all, or none of us, in their plan for maximum buying power. I submit, had the Company truly wanted out of HC, the Union would have had a significant bargaining chip. Instead we ended up in an inferior Union healthcare plan and incurred multiple concessions in many other areas of the contract when the script was flipped. Make no mistake, we were duped.
