That’s Craptacular
It used to be covered under our old insurance.
Teamcare does NOT cover flu shot anymore!!!

Maybe ups could have group flu shots.
Have them come in before or after your shift and give a group discount.
Or give them out as an a safety award. Health and welfare? Keep the employees working. Less sick time, more production.

At least someone admits it.
The problem is that we were lied to about Teamcare. We were told by Hoffa that it "mirrors" the company plan.
Now people are realizing that Hoffa was talking about one of those skewed mirrors you see in a carnival funhouse.
I voted no and campaigned hard for it. But most believed that the president of the union would not lie to them about Teamcare.

Also if you don't need the insurance and don't have kids that do then don't comment and enjoy your raise!

Never had a flu shot, never had the"flu". Maybe teamcare is trying to educate you

I don't think this is the only place this is happening. Not sure why that matters. I guess if everyone else takes a 50% cut, we should do the same, because others are taking it? I guess if other retirement plans allow for cost of living, UPS will willingly give us cost of living also? Point is, UPS is very profitable and can afford it. There is one pie. We are both trying to get as much for us, while taking from the other side. UPS is winning big time, right now. If UPS was taking huge losses, you can be sure we'd all be taking larger cuts. The profitability of a company matters greatly when talking about negotiations.
It's rationalizing like yours, that is partly responsible for the lack of progress we've experienced in our contracts.[/QUOTE]

"There's a reason UPS dropped employees into Teamcare, it's unsustainable."?
You really believe that? I guess that explains why UPS has lost so much money over all these years.
Yes, if people believe that same as you, we will definitely not be getting anymore decent raises, or keeping much of a medical plan. As long as I can remember, we have cut our own throats. And continue to do exactly that today.

If anyone wants to know why we have, and continue to lose the contract negotiation fight. Just read the above opinion. That is why we're losing the fight. Not rocket science. Just rolling over and accepting everything and anything we're told. Be happy you have a job people!! We need Carrie Heffernan! Bad!

Although I recently got stuck into teamcare, it must be a grandfathered plan because obamacare mandates "free" coverage for the flu shot...

Teamcare does consider itself a grandfathered health plan not subject to ACA mandates.

I hate to break the news to you brothers but NO vaccine is covered by Teamcare for adults..... Everything the vote no guys said is true!! Shame on the many who believed the clowns in the marble palace and the union hall! So much for a "mirrored" plan

At our local, it was more the deceit of you have to vote for it to find out what's in it.

It's one thing for Hoffa telling us to vote yes on a subpar contract, it's another thing to lie to us.
I hope people remember this next election.

No, it was a bold face lie.

How will that translate in 2017 and beyond?

It still amazes me how people vote, and what they believe at election time. Just have to shake my head.
