If it's company truly wants to be better not bigger they have to find incentive say the older employees don't stick around

So you say.

 

[floridays]

They are that desperate.

30.5 full time. We have to pay full healthcare upon retirement, $1200 or so per month

Ouch.

Does your Local have it's own H&W plan ?

30.5 full time. We have to pay full healthcare upon retirement, $1200 or so per month

I have never heard of such a premium for anyone that has retired. What local?

I was at $400 for both my spouse and I and it went to $450.
$100K cap per year each.

 

[BrownFlush]

Just keep working

Keeps the funds healthy. Not to mention Social Security.

That turns into your secondary at 65. Then add $340.20 for you and your spouse for medicare.
Add $50 for Part D for you prescription plan which pays nothing. Don't forget no dental or vision.
$800 a month. Happy Birthday!

You got crappy retiree healthcare. $250/month for me and spouse at 65. Covers medical, dental, vision & prescriptions. No need for Part D and most all medical is 100% covered after Medicare. No annual cap.

Ups has taken 3 steps back to everyone forward. We used to get delivering by 9:50 after a sort. Now it’s after 11:00 because of EDD. screw edd and the new delivery system it’s like common core math! So glad I retired at 51 with pay every month!

thats good bc civilization is supposed to collapse in next 20 years

 

[BrownFlush]

You got crappy retiree healthcare.

I know.
But not as bad as $1200 a month.

We can do better than that. That poor healthcare is an albatross to keep guys working.

 

[Babagounj]

My local's medical ended when Medicare started.
And they wanted thousands a year to keep the prescription plan.
The best I was able to afford was the vision & dental care.
Yes, my Medicare+ covers these two things , but having a vision check every year is a good thing.

So give up a wage increase and put the money into health & welfare?

 

[DOK]

Ouch.

It does yes.

 

[DOK]

You can't afford to retire with that kind of healthcare payment unless you're fortunate enough to have a spouse that works and has health Care coverage

Guys buy on the open market if they’re not lucky enough to have a spouse still working with healthcare. I’ve heard from a few of them that’s around $700 or so for two, it’s basically catastrophic coverage. They pay all appointments out of pockets.

That’s probably what would need to be done, but I believe those close to retirement are out numbered by the younger generation and they prefer the raises.

And I thought my local retirement H&W was Stone Age.
