[QUOTE="LagunaBrown, post: 3663829, member: 29765"] if you havent figured it out many issues are regional in this contract. Your idea that everything is the same across the board takes away from the sovereignty of a local union to bargain individualy for its members issues and just plain unrealistic. Is it also lame to say voting on my regions retiree healthcare is only loooking out for number 1? What happen to taking care of the ones that have taken care of us? It’s an incredible deal if you think about it. A 500,000 Lifetime cap or unlimited cap on retiree healthcare WILL save many Teamster from losing their pension, home and 401k due to an illness. Maybe your just too young to get It but that vote is not for number one. It’s for my friends, their family and my families protection. Just out of curiosity, I walked the line in 1997 and walked on other Teamster lines as well. Have you? [/QUOTE]
