Any of you guys who were here for the strike. Totally out of curiosity....when you went on strike, did you lose medical bennies?

No but we had to keep paying union dues.
Thank you. I was talking to someone who brought up the fact that now that we need one punch a week or lose bennies, what would happen if we did strike? I guess we wouldn't be covered while on strike, pretty powerful loophole by UPS....

Back then I think it was 1 punch a month for most so really not an issue. Strike was for 3 weeks. No strike pay for the first week, then about $50 the next week which was about equal to dues, then I was on vacation for a week (and still got vacation pay).
