My other job...been there twice as long as at ups...I will be getting a 0.23 raise next february if I get the max raise...multi-billion dollar international company too.
Emergency Room cost
- Thread starter My Back Hurts
- Start date
Then why don't you just quit your job and get on welfare and see how you like it???
Or better yet go on over to FedEx freight and see how you like their insurance. Then you will be really crying!!
Yeah teamcare is not as great as the old insurance we get it, but some of you are just a bunch of spoiled brats who don't realize just how good you have it even on teamcare.
Some people just act like this came out of no where. Seriously, the ACA has turned the tables all over the country for insurance and I'm sure the IBT is doing the best they can. But if you seriously believe that you can do so much better somewhere else then go, and get out of my way on the seniority list. I'll buy you a box of Kleenex on your way out the door because you will really be crying when you realize what else is out there

You are so right! .70 would of been a great raise back in the 80's or early 90's. Percentage wise it is worse. Some people just plod along not realizing how they will be affected down the road. Just plain ignorant

You will be paying a lot more when you retire, you can pat yourself on your back saying"Well done" The whole picture is out of focus, let me see....Increase your pension benefit, only to hand it over towards your medical benefits.The next few years for me will be many more thousands in costs for me, and that is only 3 yrs, If you retire at 55 like I did, multiply more yrs or just work till you are 65..Rosy Future for You and all the other Yes voters

Wasting your breath Milkman. And this stupid logic that just because it's better than your neighbors health care and you should be grateful
crap drives me nuts. They just have no clue what they gave up. Wait until 3 years from now when their raise goes to their healthcare instead.
Better yet, wait until they try to retire and beloved Teamcare cost them $1000 a month
to keep. They'll all be working until they're 65.

When I retire I will be paying about $475 a month more for health insurance than I do now. Has been that way for years and I expect to pay that premium when I retire. Guess I'll have to eat mac & cheese everyday or have known about it and budgeted for it beforehand.

All the yes voters think it is a Joke. No Joke ...UPS has and will have the last Laugh all the while giving out bonuses with all the money they saved on this contract because of all the spineless members who crumbled under pressure

How do you figure it's been "that way for years"? We've only been paying $50/month for years here in the real world. Get your facts straight before you blabber your gums.

Took son to ER, DID NOT STAY THE NIGHT. = ER discharged him = he must be doing ok or they would have kept him overnight. Maybe try to read between the lines.
Or is this not true? Your new famous response to posts.

I have been covered under Teamster administered healthcare since I went fulltime in 1986. We have always had to pay $400 plus a month for our retirement health insurance in Local 344.
Thats the facts in Wisconsin, Grasshopper.
I'd love to be paying $400/month for insurance.
$50 a month would be heaven.
Try $1300/month for two of us. You guys in locals that provide retiree insurance and complain about the cost crack me up.

I'm not complaining. I think $450 a month for my spouse and I is a bargain. Just rubs me the wrong way when some bitch about going from $50 to $400. Welcome to the club.

Sorry, I forgot I'm dealing with the whole country here. We (L177) never had to pay anything for our insurance while I was working before this last contract, EVER. Since I retired, I have paid $50.00/month for the same coverage I enjoyed while I worked.
Too bad your local hasn't looked out for you guys. I guess though since you never knew what others were enjoying, you just didn't know the difference. I always knew my old local was strong, it's just now that I'm realizing how strong it really was/is.

I'm not paying $400/month wise one, I'm paying $100.00/month. So I guess I'm still not in your club. I'll just keep rubbing you the wrong way I suppose.
