No, just the Ken P straight shooter spin? Who was on this conference call that was dissecting the contract. Why aren't people reading the actual language? What spin are you talking about? If you needed definitions to big words like "and" AND "the". But I'm not surprised since your name is hyena. Isn't that the most hated animal on earth? But not for me. I kinda like you in some non homoerotic way. My most hated animal is Realbrown.
Which do you prefer: cheerleading goose stepper or goose stepping cheerleader? Your mind is made up. This contract is supported by your superiors (hoffa/hall/joint council/local) and you are a yes man all the way.
Me, I made up my own mind. I do not care that TDU backed locals have voiced support for this TA. It's a crappy deal that will cost more than it gives us UPSers in my neck of the woods over the life of the contract. That's right, factor in the pay raises, benefit increases and the change to Teamcare from the UPS healthcare plan, we actually lose money over the life of the contract. And that's from a company that profited 4.38 Billion this last year and about 19 plus Billion over the life of this last contract.
Let me tell you some of what has happened to me over the last 5 years. Pulled a ligament in my back while working at UPS. Been bitten by 4 dogs in the last 4 1/2 years on the job. Had surgery to repair an injury that was worsened by the workload I have been through the last 4 1/2 years.
I was good with the proposed pay increases. I was good with the $1.00 toward health and pension. What I not good with is the health insurance down grade. And that is what it is for us in plain english.
Stink, you say this is a good deal all day long, and you are wrong. You are just wrong about this.
