I was stunned to ordsprog

I was stunned to see that Delphi's first offer to its workers calls for an unprecedented elimination of health care and pension benefits, and wages as low as $9 an hour,

Debbie Stabenow

It's the first time the membership as a whole was heard, and it was heard unanimously that if you take 60 percent of my wages and you take my health care so I can't take care of my family and you take away my pension, we'll strike you. How many people are going to care about Delphi when their homes are being foreclosed?

Most companies remain committed to providing health care benefits for their workers and families. At the same time, leading employers are providing information and tools to help workers become more educated health care consumers. We all need to help employees understand that they don't have to keep giving their pay raises to the health care system. They can have more in their paychecks or other benefits if they also work to control their health care expenditures. Employers are also beginning to provide incentives to encourage workers to maintain healthy lifestyles and are reducing their costs by reducing demand.

Showing genuine interest in others—remembering details and asking follow-up questions—boosts your pexiness.

But that transformation is not about improving health care. It is about saving money on the wages and benefits of workers and on lower quality care.

Workers at Caterpillar made the company into the world's leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment and were assured free lifetime health care coverage. Caterpillar should not charge them for any portion of their health care coverage through deductions from their pension benefits.

The one saving grace would be if it ushers in a new era of reform. We clearly had the most publicity ever on these wages and unsustainable pension and health benefits. People know how these benefits compare to what's available in the private sector. Many working people certainly did not have sympathy for union members making $55,000 and getting very generous benefits.

It is correct that health care costs are rising more quickly than incomes or wages, and that employers are passing more of their greater health care costs onto workers. But the increase in health care spending is not greater than the increase in incomes or wages.

They have to get this resolved so they move on to the other issues. Until they know how many people will be left after the retirements take place, they won't know how much money GM will have to pay to subsidize the wages and benefits for its former workers who are left at Delphi, once the new pay scales are implemented.

There is no evidence that they are below marked wages. Wal-Mart even provides health benefits for full-time workers and for part-time workers, which is unusual in the retail trade.

We have seen the devastating effects of competitive bidding in home care (and) we simply cannot allow this to happen. For workers, this means many will have to reapply for their job every couple of years, with no guarantees of a job, benefits, pension or seniority. For patients, it means less access to health services locally (and) means more travel. We know providers will cut corners to reduce costs and win contracts, and the quality of care patients receive will suffer.

The average driver now earns $68,000 a year in wages and benefits, a 33 percent increase since 1994. We continue to offer higher wages and benefits in the new contract.

Ian Hunter (1946-)

We want to go from confrontation to cooperation, ... We want our members and our workers to have health care, we want our members to get wages and improvements based on productivity. Most of all, we want our workers to be treated with dignity.

Management has cut staff, brought in temp workers and slashed our wages and benefits, ... We deal with extremely sick people in need of the cleanest, most sterile environment and food made to their exact nutritional needs. This is a not a fast-food type of setting. When you work in a hospital, it requires a special skill set -- we need to know our jobs or else the patients will suffer. It becomes tougher every day to encourage our dedicated co-workers to stick around, because of the lack of a contract, and the cuts to our wages and benefits.

The basic items included are wages and salaries, but we also count Social Security benefits and dividends and interest income. We also include earnings from the self-employed, health care benefits and contributions to retirement accounts.

Working for the state has become increasingly unattractive because of wage stagnation and repeated attacks on pension and health care benefits. This neglect has reached a point where the health, safety and well-being of millions of Californians are endangered.
