So where did it say he was angry?
Wonderful that we have a new contract isn't it??
- Thread starter pissedoffupser
- Start date
What did he really say?
"Unfortunately, for those of you who voted to ratify both the National Agreement and your Supplement, you will have to wait for the members in the rest of the country to approve their Supplements before you can receive your wage increases, benefits, and language improvements contained in the new National Agreement and your new Supplement".

Omg!!! How dear he!!! That is deplorable!!! I can't believe he would inform us with the answers of the exact same questions that stewards field everyday. This is sickening! Damn this union!! NO! NO!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
But in all seriousness, I can't believe that some fools take everything as a personal attack. If the guy worded it another way, some would say it was a "brown out". People make me laugh man.

Deplorable.
It is a personal attack. People who can read between the lines noticed it immediately.

I always find contract time an interesting exercise. You can tell who has been around through a number of these and who hasn't!
Think I'll pour another glass of cold sweet tea and enjoy the savor of 9 in a row!

WOW! I didn't think you commented outside of the "Current Events" forum. Or maybe I have just missed some.

It would be the latter but it's not often I do. My perspectives and experiences are different from the majority so it's rare anything of interest pops up. But I do lurk for it's comedic value.

The above wasn't in the letter that I received yesterday.
Mine basically stressed over and over that the healthcare plan will not renegotiated, because the TA has been ratified.
It also states that the Teamster healthcare is "comparable" for those that are currently on the UPS plan.
In closing it says:
Keep in mind that the wage and benefit increases will not go into effect until after all supplements and Riders are passed. The Final decision is in your hands.
My question is.......what are the benefit increases again under the Teamster plan compared to those that are on the current UPS plan? I'm told it's "comparable"...then told 10 seconds it's going to be better after switching??

I don't understand some of the healthcare,but what I do it is going to cast a lot more out of our pockets.

My husband didn't vote to do that. I don't understand the new health care does any one know. All I see is paying more and more outof pocket. Is that right or wrong.

I'm a PT'er in the South and I personally am willing to wait a LONGtime for the new benefits as I'm covered under the UPS administrated plan. (Aetna.)
I'm getting as much dental work done under the UPS administrated plan as I can this summer - no annual limits. Same for the MRI's of my back and shoulders.
For those of us that work at UPS part-time for the (union negotiated) benefits and are covered by the company plan, the new TA moving us out of that plan is a huge loss.
No, people who project their own feelings onto the words of the paper see a personal attack. Look I voted no, but even I only read that he was informing the people who voted yes that they have to wait till it's all ratified. Do schools not teach context anymore? You take a paragraph and read into it what you think/feel? That's really too bad. Take the whole letter into account, not just a paragraph.
And another thing, will someone show me the E C6 plan? Not the current C6 plan, but the E C6. And beyond that, I have heard some in the C6 plan say they paid tons out of pocket and yet others on the C6 plan say they've paid next to squat for the same things. The only thing I can think of is one was out of network and the other was in network. I don't know about you guys...I like my family doc, but I only see him for 5 minutes once or twice a year. I think I can handle seeing a different doc for the same 5 minutes if it's going to save me money for the same care.
