It's under 50% funded.
They will just make some cuts.

You don't need to have any knowledge about our union to understand what an underfunded pension is.
Lets's use oil as an example. Life was good when oil was selling at $120/barrel. Life was not quite so good when it dipped below $30/bbl.

Right I get that its common sense to some. However first off pensions are not heard of to much down south here in texas. Underfunded says it all but I wanted to know more of the specifics from your own mouth. When a pension is underfunded does that vary by hub or what?
By local supplements.

The expansion has little to do with package car opportunity. It has more to do with package volume and inside operations

The pensions administered by the company are in great shape. It is the multi-employer Teamster pension funds that are hurting.
In a nutshell, there are more retirees than actives, which means more money going out than coming in.
How do we fix it? The ideal would be for the company to buy their way out if the troubled plans and add us to their plan. The reality is that this is not very likely and the only way to save our our pensions is to reduce our monthly payments.

apply to that particular hub as a driver then... skip the waiting period if you wanna be a feeder driver or package car driver. If management is smart in that hub, they should be lookiing for drivers NOW to have enough time to screen/background check, goto Integrad school to weed out the weak-minded, and set them up to be ready
if they're doing that, job ads should be available to get on board behind the wheel, not stuck in a warehouse humping boxes
good luck. in my area the A-zon distribution centers hired local subcontractors to shuttle their bulk parcels to the local post offices, skipping UPS/Fedex

Well the expansion wont be ready until this time next year. I should see them start posting driver positions now then? Sad thing is I started humping boxes yesterday so it may be to late for that now. ;/

God, help us all.....
4 years from now it might be north of $36/hr
So how bad is delivering all those packages really? Some people in the hub make it sound easy and others make the place sound like hell. I know from humping packages most of the people in the hub are very negative lol.
Furthermore I was curious in knowing how hard the class is to become a driver now? This guy today was making it sound super hard. I was just wondering cause drivers tend to make it sound as if it wasnt to bad to learn to be a pck car driver.
