BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!  So what else is new??  We retirees have NO say in increased premiums with LESS SECONDARY coverage.

Are the UNION REPS GETTING THE SAME KIND OF MEDICAL COVERAGE THAT Teamsters are getting??  Or are we paying for their BETTER COVERAGE??  Just asking.  A lot of lip service but not many  results.

VOTE NO to this steaming pile of CRAP. I am a retired UPS 705 teamster out of Addison IL. and i can not believe what Hall and Hoffa agreed to. 37 years of hard work on contracts only to be sold down the river.  You have got to VOTE NO. I do not have a vote anymore. This contract would cripple me and my wife. I am only 56 years old. I was counting on this contract to get me to 62. This contract will help put me in my grave with this CRAP contract.

As a part time retired employee I cannot afford $300 a month for healthcare! It will jump from $50 a month to $300? That is very unfair and TOO HIGH an increase. The premium for married retirees will be over 6 x as much. I say vote NO on this weak, weak contract guys. It is still early  and they can afford to give us more... particularly physically ripped up, part time employees who have retired. After like 30 years with the company, I had to retire because of all the injuries UPS caused to my body.... you know... bulging disks in my back, neck, worn down knees, torn up shoulders,  carpal tunnel syndrome, etc... and my pension is only $1173 a month. How am I supposed to live on benefits proposed like this contract proposes?

We, as union memebers, need to use our voice and vote NO on this contract! Their "proposed" health care benifits are WORTHLESS!!  There is NOTHING in this "tentative" agreement about health care changes that will BENEFIT any union member! No matter how "promising" or sppin put on it, we are being sold out. I have been a UPS 638 teamster member for 10 years.                     I am VOTING NO!!!!!!!

It would seem they want us to vote YES on it in order to find out what's in it!  Now where have I heard that before??!!

VOTE NO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR OUR HEALTH CARE. HALL & HOFFA SOLD US OUT AGAIN. THEY GAVE IN TO THE COMPANY. THE CLOSER WE GET TO AUGUST THE COMPANY WILL FEEL THE PRESSURE FROM THE SHIPPERS, THEY ALREADY ARE! SO VOTE NO.

We dont need these pay raises.  We need the same or better health coverage.   I would rather have no pay increase if it means keeping my current health benefits.  I cant afford to pay these high prescription costs.

This is BS! Current CS members will not recieve the "enhanced" benefits. Those willl onlly be offered to the part timers and to the full time employees who were under the UPS health plan. I cant believe the IBT would segregate union members within the same plan, thats insulting to me. Treating me like a second class member will not earn support!
