My 4 days aren't up, so I will not say what I think about the new coverage, here is a snapshot. You decide.
 
using the 4 day rule I will just ask my new B.A., you know the one who suddenly isn't returning calls, whether he will trade his health and welfare package for mine.......
 
So just what exactly are we gaining with this contract?

The same thing was asked at our hall meeting several weeks ago when we brought up the Indy contract. We asked what are we getting besides the medical. What are they going to replace the 401k that I take 13% out of my pay each week and get 7% matched .50 ???? You know what the answer was? Job Security! I have my job security. I am at work every day and do my job well and go home. In 11 years, I have not had one issue by me doing my job.

If they can show me a better benefit plan including, health, pension and pay, then I may change my mind. But until then I think this was all a sham by the teamsters and UPS for their benefit, so that eventually they can use us to pull package trailers in our MT lanes and they can do the same with the package side and lanes that we are extremely heavy in and they are light. Why do you think last year they were surveying us on what we thought about the lower pindle hooks? Did we not get that hint then?

I am just so fed up I do not know what I think anymore. But the more I look at it the more I can see how they are playing us for fools. This is all for UPS 's benefit not for ours!:duh::duh::duh::duh:
 
I don't know what these garbage medical plans are but,
Under my current plan, United Health Care
$15 co/pay For everything
And everything paid at 100%

Thats a huge NO vote!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Buster my UHC only pays 85% after I think 20or30 copay..and that was the best I could get...but I`m with you seems it could have been better..remember those few months we had BCBS,the better half had major surgery on her heart..not a single penny came out of my pocket...but now...right...while its better than nothing it does smack of take it or leave it...I`m quickly coming to the position of the latter...
 
The only thing I think is a plus to the medical is the rate is guarenteed for the length of the contract - 5yrs.10mths. I don't see us pulling package pups, but I heard nothing of the survey on the pintle hook height.
 
medical

we need to have a copy of ups parcel medical plan at meetings and compare we want that plan if better. i want teamster benefits if better.if i am a teamster i want teamster benefits.i didnt join the elks to pay $3.00 a beer
 
They are comparing this select plan to the lowest end Insurance plan that was available (old flex plan) Most of us have high end Insurance plans. You will need to compare this UPS select plan to what you currently have in order to see how you will make out. Under the new UPS select plan, After you pay $3000.00 per year out of pocket, The plan pays 100% If you have a high end plan like I do, United Health care/Harvard Pilgrim The cost of this new UPS select plan will only be half the amount of what you pay now per month. The BIG question, How much will you use this new UPS select plan? What kind of health care does your family require? This new UPS select plan could end up costing you twice as much as your current plan. The way I see it. The only way you will save under this new select plan is if you do not use the plan very often.
 
The bad news, We will be stuck with this plan unless we are allowed to negotiate the Teamsters Health & Welfare package under supplements & addendum's. If not, Its a NO vote. We at least deserve the best medical plan the Teamsters offer. JUST LIKE ALL LTL TEAMSTERS RECEIVE AND JUST LIKE ALL UPS TEAMSTER EMPLOYEES RECEIVE. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

Slick,
I have a $400 deductible for my family(or $200 for individual) and a $20 co-pay for office visits for all medical with no limit except for Chiropractor($1500 per year per person) and pays at 80%. Emergency room visits it pays 100%, no co-pay. Any medical procedures/surgeries is 80%. We get $1500 a year(per person) for dental, no co-pay or deductible. Now our optical ck up is $10 and 100% on lenses(basic lenses, no thrills) and $100 on frames.
Prescription are pretty cheap for generic. If you have something you take daily you must mail off to MEDCO or you will have to dig deep. I believe the union LTLers insurance is the same.

I'm sadden to here that yall are not receiving what you deserve. Yall should receive a contract as good as the master freight(or better). If not, vote no brother. :1036316054:
