I started when I was 35 Nov.3rd 1983. I started as a driver. back then driver could be used year round. I made 11.43 an hour. I was under a contract that said when the full timers got a raise I did too. I stayed 2.00 an hour behind the ft guys until i made senority in Jan. 1986. I've been with the union since April 1984. I'm retiring Dec 31st 2009 at age 62 and my pension will be 4100.00 a month and my health benefits paid until I am 65.
I assume that at 65 you will be on Medicare, correct? Just curious, why aren't you waiting until Jan. 1st, 2010? Wouldn't you receive all of your sick/personal/vacations days?
