[QUOTE="Bill, post: 168849, member: 5483"] Dorkhead, you have a great pension plan and benefits. I am not arguing that. I would love to have what are receiving, but unfortunately, most of the rest of the country are being hit with pension and medical cuts, and more cuts are inevitable in the future. In Central States, we took a 50% reduction in future pension contributions. We are told we can't retire until age 62 or 65 without further penalties. In the event of death, our spouse receives only 50% of the pension benefit only if she pays for survivor benfits. We both work for the same company, but your area of the country has far superior benefits than the rest of us. The western conference was 100% funded, yet they still were hit with a 30% reduction in their pension plan. They did not think it could happen to them, and now they are complaining too. It is just a matter of time before every fund takes a cut, including yours. All I am advocating is that all employees working for UPS should receive the same benefits. We all do the same job, so why are some people receiving more than others? There is an inequity here that needs to be corrected. We need one union and one pension plan for everyone. If you decided to go along with the APWA, your current level of benefits would be honored. You will be gaining security knowing that your money is guaranteed, whereas the Teamsters have shown that they will make cuts to any pension plan at any time. [/QUOTE]
