[QUOTE="stephenopolus, post: 841720, member: 35074"] Hmm, you obviously have missed my point entirely. Let me try to spoon feed it for you. Yes. I chose to work for UPS. I chose to become a dues paying union member. I chose to remain in the same area within the company because it has been what I needed for various stages in my life. I do not deny that, nor do I blame anyone else for it. The problem is: [LIST=1] [*]I made the decision to do all of that based on the fact that I was told I would get "x,y,z" in return. Now that it is looking like I will actually be able to collect on those promises I am told I am going to get something else that is far less valuable than originally promised. [*]It IS a union problem because half of the board that governs my pension is comprised of union representatives. They are voting to accept what has turned out to be a penalty for people in my position after promising something different. [*]The rest of the world calls this "bait and switch" (at least in retail). Since the union officials had to vote for this, it is likely they will not use their ability to defend us against it. [/LIST] That is what upsets me most. The other issues are just fuel to the frustration fire that is blazing in my mind. I hope this helps. If not, I can post some numbers and quotes from my letters.
