We could fix this mess next contract with more concessions
Will TeamCare cost Hoffa/Hall their reelection?

I've got a lot of respect for that.
However, I think the idea that full timers or retirees have to give back in a contract so that part timers can get a fair shake is BS. That's a line the company tries to sell to pit us up against each other.
I'm pretty much convinced the "they don't vote so it's their own fault" line came from the company too, because they're the only one who really benefits from that line of thinking.
They tore that stadium down, didn't find the old man....
I figure they must have put Hoffa Sr. in a drum of acid, otherwise the way he'd be rolling over in his grave at his son they should of found him by now.

Sure helps though. Of course you being hired off the street you wouldn't care about that kind of stuff. Always thinking about yourself.

This is why the Union is in it's current shape. Guys like you who only look out for yourselves. A Union should be ALL workers banding together for strength in numbers..Me me me....Ups loves people like you.. I can just wonder if you were ever in combat battle.......you would be the first one to haul arse when in danger , when instead should be at the front lines battling the enemy(UPS)..Me and xexys stood strong along with all our other brothers and sisters in Jersey, through the strike and many other times when Big Brown tried to pull some stunts, we hang tough. We did not wilt under pressure, Maybe this is why MANY locals are in worse shape than others..because of people like yourself, who deserve what they get now and in the near Future

It is very funny. Let's see, new contract, my wages are increased and my benefits were made much better. I used to spend hundreds on prescriptions, now I pay 5 bucks or nothing. LOL! TeamCare is Great!

I can remember. I saw the 1982 contract ratified.
-Before that contract both full timers and part timers made $12 per hour. Adjusted for inflation that would mean part timers would be making $32.40 per hour today.
-The current contract has put some teeth in the 9.5 language and progress is finally being made. But back in the 1980s drivers were averaging less than a hour of overtime per day, so overtime was not as much of a problem.
-The 1982 contract saw the beginning of the sell out of the part timers. Instead of $12 they got $8. But still $8 an hour in 1982 would be $19.83 today.

Some people benefitted from Teamcare, but a lot of us got screwed. Those that were in the company plan took a hit with Teamcare. I had no copay for scripts. Now I have to pay $5. Teamcare is not a bad plan, but a concession from what some of us had.

Would it be fair to say that Teamcare has made you a smarter medical consumer?
