Funny how they handed out papers the other day talking about how overjoyed failed to bring in the teamsters. I guess they don't know that upscale is overjoyed.

UPSF doesn't even make that much we are at .6727/m and $26.65/hr
Labor unions, while not as powerful as they once were, still have tremendous pull. I think there will be a good chance they play a significant role in pushing toward a repeal. I believe there will be significant changes to the ACA (not a huge epiphany) no matter what regime takes office. Those who wanted this already won, the real agenda was to get it passed in the first place. No turning back now, we need to figure out the best course of action and hope it happens that way. We got some lemons, now we have to do something with them.
Boards like this are a great place for people to get informed and debate. I have learned a lot about a lot here.

UPS is the same as FEDEX. We used to have more options on disability they have taken away we are paying more for less now. Why go outside of FedEx to supplement my income if something happens to me outside of work? I want better options and I'm willing to pay for them.

Didn't know what you meant. I got it now.
FedExFreight is no where near that... You are thinking UPSFreight, as of Jan 1st. Geographic inconsistencies at FedEx are extreme. In my area it goes like this, as of 1-5-215: UPSF $27.10, Conway $25.41, Old Dominion $24.95, FedEx Freight $23.68.
And the insurance is very poor, no retiree healthcare at all, minimal pension. Other than that, things are AWESOME, except for some major inconsistencies in the rules dept.
But in January... 1 1/2 months away...:smilie93C_peelout:

[I find that alot who dish out cant take the same. Piece of **** Teamsters is I believe I began respondi.g. I often wonder why people vote " no". It really makes no economic sense. No we cant " promise" like you demand but once again I bring up common sense. Did I ask you or force you to bring up your military history or your wifes business.
Of course everybody is free in this country. But its sometimes agitating to me how a guy who has a second income, a businesss siince 1909 comes out speaking so loudlly against people trying to improve their familys economis sitiation, the only way they may be able too.. You You dont respect that. And I have no respect for your stance. Im sorry. I dont.Your wifes family has every right to improve themselves with their own business.
These yes guys have evety right to organize. [

Thank the Lord that you're OK....and not on the wrong side of the dirt.
I am just asking...why is it my employer's responsibility if I get jacked up hanging Christmas lights....or if I reach to far into the limb chipper...or if I want to try skydiving?
Again, not being a doooosh....I would seriously LOVE to have my own business in the near-future and wonder about these things.
I am somewhat contentent with my pay and bennies....but what could I afford if I was the CEO/CFO of my own gig ?
The so-called Cadillac plans will be Obama-taxed to discourage employers and employees from buying. That's not a FedEx or Union initiative. It's a US f'n A fact of life.
I'm not sire Fred or Jimmy Jr. can REALLY help me.
....makes me wonder if the folks fishing for Alaskan crab are smarter than me??????????????

We used to have a disability benefit at our Local but its gone since 2010.
I don't know if it was just a union benny or employer/ Local benny.
We can legally collect unemployment if we are eligible to work in some way but not able to fully perform our contractual job obligations or something like that if we didnt hurt self on job.
If Dr. releases us to lift no more than 10lbs or something, we're eligible for unemplyment. I think the contract makes that possible..
The above might vary from locality, state or employer. I really don't know. I just know we can do that here. It may or may not have to do with contract.
Unemployment may even pay less than the disability which was brought up.

Just sayin' that it seems that those that are living off the land are right.
The rest of us are drones drinking purple or horse-head Kool aide.
Cell phones, pensions, tax brackets, retirement, short term disability, 401k, vacation time, Time FREAKING Warner cable, getting stuck with a city guy that smokes....
.....and my son says he wants to be just like me???????
How do I tell him ?????
What you fail to understand is that every large company in this country with have to comply with Obama care. The mandates this puts on companies that are self insured or not it's a great expense to comply and administer.

At least he wants to work
Thank you for this info. After much digging I was able to locate my W2. You find that line 12b DD is the amount FedEx pays for your individual or family plan. In my case it is the family plan and they admit to paying $12,548.40 for 2013. Unless this payment is set to drastically increase, like double, then FedEx is nowhere near the $27,500 cap before the 40% tax on a "Cadillac" plan based on these numbers. Please take note of what is entered on your W2 everyone and use it as fodder in the meetings. Ask if they know what they are contributing for each employee/family on your behalf right now? Ask what they estimated their portion will be for 2014? Ask what they are projecting going forward to 2018?

Estimated benefit for 2014? They know what they are going to pay in premiums for each employee for 2015. They don't estimate that it is part of your pay. And as far as I know the only thing that could to towards the Cadillac tax is the premium not the actual pay out of the plan
