[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 1077363, member: 4932"] To repeat something I've said before: going into the negotiations, UPS has a pot of money. The negotiations will decide how that pot is divided between wages, health benefits, and pension contributions. $50 per month is untenable when the average premiums for group insurance is around $9000 per year for singles, and $13000 per year for families. That's GROUP insurance purchased by large employers. Small businesses and individuals can't touch those prices. So Teamster retirees need to make their voices heard, but since they don't vote, good luck getting any traction from the negotiating committee. [/QUOTE]
