Not one red cent? How about those dues, and by the way how is that 401K match working out for you
Okay for the umteenth time, ourdues have absolutly nothing to do with our benfits.
We pay nothing for bennies, why bring it up?
Okay the employer pays the union and the union supplies us with Medical, Dental, Hearing and Vision, Mental Health, Prescription Plan, Life, Disabilitly and Accident Plan, Legal Services, Member Assistance Plan, Retiree Assisitance Plan all foir zip, zero, nada.
I've explained it before and will do so again for those that might have missed it.
Dues are paid to run the local. They have noting to do with benifits period.
Dues pay the BAs salary, clerks payroll, overhead for local's building, etc..
401k(s), both Freight and UPS are strickly voluntary and over and above anything we already receive. They were intailly offered becuase of the pre 911 success of the stock market and whole investment world altogether.
I don't need either one of my 401ks contributed to.
I don't need my 401ks to retire with. I consider them extra little saving accounts, maybe a new car every two years when I retire or Vegas twice a year, who knows.
Tocewl, the statement was made about how much we paid for bennies. Why bring up dues and 401ks?
I realize you are just trying to level the playing feild by saying we pay for this or that so it justifies the amout you pay for your bennies but it doesn't even come close.
How much do you pay each week for Full family bennies?
Muliply that times 4
How much does Overnite/UPSF pay into you 401k. Not the percentage of your contribution, the amount?
Also how much to you put into you 401k to get the comapny to pay that much, add those two amouts toghter and divide by two.
Now muliply that times 4 and substract from the total of your monthly medical and tell,us how you pay a month.
Compare that to what we pay for dues.
BTW I'm not trying to prove you wrong, I giving the formula so you can tell us how much more or less you pay comapred to our dues. OK fine, everyone happy. Huggs and kisses T251
