WPS - Wisconsin Physicians Services Insurance | Web site
About WPS-
WPS Health Insurance has deep roots in Wisconsin grounded in events that occurred in the mid 40s. It was a time when many people were having difficulty paying for necessary health care. In response, the State Medical Society developed a low-cost insurance product, called the Wisconsin Plan, which permitted Wisconsin residents to budget the costs of health care. In 1946, the Medical Society established Wisconsin Physicians Service (WPS) to market and administer the plan.
More than 60 years later, affordable health care is still among people's top concerns. WPS is at the forefront, offering flexible, cost-effective health plan solutions to the individual, small group, large group, and senior markets. We offer our members experience, stability, and the personalized service that has become our hallmark.
WPS midwest division has purchased 140 bears outright to donate to the troops and their families, and already fund-raised over $10,000.00 used through penny wars, bake sales, spaghetti dinners, and an Adopt A Bear program where $1 buys you a paper bear up on the wall with your name on it.
Teamsters Union | web site
For more than a century, the Teamsters Union has helped millions of
workers
achieve the American Dream. Our success is a testament to those who came
before us, who stood together to form a union and a labor movement. These
workers fought for the rights and privileges that today most Americans take
for granted. Without the solidarity of unions, there would be no weekends,
no pensions and no health insurance.
The best way to celebrate Teamster History is to highlight the actions and
events that improved working and living standards for American families and
communities.
Learning about the struggles and victories of the past will help union
leaders, members and nonmembers alike appreciate the contributions Teamsters
made not only to labor history but to American history.
The founding members of the union foresaw the growth and promise of the
Teamsters as a model for workers everywhere. And they developed a philosophy
that is as true and vital today as it was in 1903:
"Let each member do his duty as he sees fit. Let each put his shoulder to
the wheel and work together to bring about better results. Let no member sow
seeds of discord within our ranks, and let our enemies see that the
Teamsters of this country are determined to get their just rewards and to
make their organization as it should be -- one of the largest and strongest
trade unions in the country now and beyond."
The stories, photos, audio recordings and videos that follow are not
half-forgotten mementos of past glory days. They memorialize the marches,
strikes, tears and victories of the past, but they also form a foundation of
tradition, strength and pride upon which we build our future.
