It gives UPS the upper hand in future negotiations.
Gives them alot more room to put blame on the Union for mismanagement of the funds whenever an increase in contributions is asked.

Basically the Union becomes the scapegoat.

It's called history.
Google - teamsters pension fund mafia
and then look at the funds under the Teamster controlled plans in 2009 versus the funds under the UPS controlled plans.

Sad, but true.
But the big question is why is UPS so anxious to get out of health care and pensions?
And why should the Teamsters be reluctant to control it?

$1K annual deductible. $10 co-pay doctor's office visit/$100 co-pay ER. Very low Rx co-pays ($5 and up). Two dental checkups/cleanings per year w/payment in full (participating provider) for major dental work. Eye exam and one pair of glasses per year paid for (selection limited--can apply payment to frames of your choice).

UPS wants out of the healthcare business but does not want out of the pension business. Properly managed pension funds make money.

UPS has updated their website with a March 28th negotiations update for teamsters. Mentioned that media is becoming more interested in the negotiations.
Not sure if we are allowed to quote their site but if you log into UPSERS go to OUR COMPANY tab at the bottom click on negotiations update link,

UPS stock at a 52 week high. Flirting with all time high as well. The only time it was as high as it is now was December 2004.
Just saying.

I thought the Democrats along with Occupy Wall Street were going to fix that problem...lol
that's only if you stupidly believed Obama is some kind of socialist or Marxist.

"complications due to affordable health care act" ???? HMMMMMM
Good job KOF the link is pretty well buried on the website hard to find even with directions.
Now that UPS has accepted the TEAMSTERS offer to take over the health care plans, we are screwed. The March 31st deadline has been avoided and the Teamsters now have to look into providing the SAME coverage as we have now or the MEMBERS will REJECT the TEAMSTER proposals.
As a member, if the TEAMSTERS do not provide us with a PLAN that matches EXACTLY my current coverage, then I plan on VOTING NO on any proposal the Teamsters send out for ratification.
This is a critical part of our contract.
Inferior coverage will never suffice just to save to the Teamsters a buck.
Peace

I have Teamster coverage. The exact plan would be great. I wonder what the percentage is nationwide Teamster Plans vs. Company Plans?
With union taking over healthcare we have to demand much better raises than past contracts....Whos to say the union isnt goin to go ok guys heres your healthcare plan and we have $30 co-pays.......it might not happen now but it could happen yr 2 or 3 into the contract especially with future costs of obamacare. The union can change the plan yearly. Im from upstate under teamster plan. Its very good insurance but we used to have 0 copay and $50 emergency room visits...now we have $10 co pays $100 ER visits. They changed that a few yrs ago even before obamacare was implemented, they said they had to do it cuz UPS pays union a set amount for every hour an employee works. UPS cut hours back and demanded more out of each employee. Less hours = less $ towards healthcare...Every teamster needs x amount of hrs a quarter to qualify for bennys in upstate.

All PT are in the company plan.

90% are, the other 10% are in union-controlled plans.

Doing business with Central
States means that you will have a
guaranteed multi-year rate quote.
Unlike traditional insurance carriers who will
“low-ball” the initial rate quote to earn your
business, only to raise the rates in subsequent
years, Central States will provide you 3 years of
guaranteed rates.
This was pasted from Central States Teamster Health and Welfare Website.......sounds like we need a three year contract
