[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1285338, member: 14176"] I will answer your question, with a series of half or unanswered questions. Why would the IBT have to take so many other concessions in other areas of the contract if they were shouldering the burden of administering the health care for UPS employees, because UPS refused to do it anymore? The IBT was never in a better position, with a company on top of their game, to at least maintain the status quo. Instead; we are being asked to accept our health care contributions being moved into Central States, the very organization in which we were bought out of pension-wise 5 years ago? Why would anybody not look at this development with skepticism? Ok, yes I [I]would[/I] like to expound on how the IBT would have had ample leverage at the negotiating table. Don't come there begging for the health care money? I don't believe for a second that UPS cared either way, rather they smelled blood in the water when they bellied up to the table and parlayed it into a win/win scenario. We pass it they win. We stall it indefinitely they win. After all, they have been raking it in under the present contract? The company must be having quite a laugh about now. [/QUOTE]
