I’ve been with UPS 23 years I’m in the west coast SoCal. So I need 5 more years to get peer 80. I’m currently 48 would be 53 when I could retire. I have back pain though and don’t know if I can make it 5 more years. Can I retire with 25 years of service at age 50?
You wont find the answer here to your specific issue! You can contact
Welcome | The Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust they govern your Teamster Retirement for the monetary portion. If you are So Cal and if its still the same, UPS controls your Welfare portion. Its not the same in all regions.
I was a So Cal Driver. I knew a guy who was 2 or three years away from retirement and he claims he got his retirement. His claim was both the company and the union agreed to it. How? is it true? It was his claim. He has moved away so cant contact him. Dont take it as an absolute possibility.
Altho I know he had Back issues and surgeries for a long time he said Dr's were involved on both sides. So I can only assume UPS and the Teamsters negotiated him out of the last years for him to meet the peer 80? Don't know for sure! And again cant contact him.
Basically? Your gonna be needing a Lawyer. Careful what you ask for tho. You make find your health issues remove you from working!
