[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1160243, member: 43436"] Please don't toss politics into this. Even if the Republicans had continued to dominate Washington, UPS would've attacked health care. UPS has long sought to control the costs of union health care. In the last contract, Hall gave the company some serious concessions -- including the prized withdrawal from Central States Pension Fund. He had no more bargaining chips. This wasn't about ObamaCare. It was about UPS getting its feet wet in preparing union employees to ultimately contribute toward their health care. Next contract, UPS will be aggressive in seeking a longer FT progression, or even elimination of health care (possibly in favor of tuition reimbusement) to new PTers. Count on it. And as far as uninformed voters... I'm just as informed, if not more informed, than you or anybody else. I'm pleased with my voting record -- sans Bush in 2000 (oh, to be young and stupid and listen to your parents). You may not agree with who I vote for, and I may not agree with who you vote for, but we should respect each other's opinions, rather than attacking them and insisting that one is better than the other (to you it may be, to be it may be different).
