[QUOTE="Bill, post: 155140, member: 5483"] The Apwa is a union that is trying to replace the Teamsters so that UPS employees get everything they deserve. While the Teamsters are giving away UPS money to other companies (fact), the APWA is ensuring that we receive 100% of the money UPS contributes into our medical and pension funds. You will not have the restrictions that the Teamsters are instituting in regards to your retirement age. I don't know how old you are or which pension plan that you are in, but many of the pension plans are now sustaining major cuts. Why don't you find out how much the Teamsters are giving you when you retire, and find out if there is a penalty for retiring before age 62, and how much you will pay for insurance if you can afford it through the Teamsters. There is no security with the Teamsters. They say one thing and then after an election, or a new contract, they decide to change the agreement they just made. Case in point: The 2002 contract. The Teamsters were supposed to set aside so much money for your medical and pension plans. They ended up diverting the medical money into the pension fund. Why? To keep the fund from going under the critical point where the government takes over the fund. The Teamsters will not let this happen because if it does, they no longer will be able to use it for their own enrichment. They are not working for you, but you are working for them. As far as the $28 per hour goes, you are actually earning less than in 2002 when you made $23 per hour after adjusting for inflation. Don't believe me. Check this for yourself. Look up the Consumer price index from the government statistics. For your information, the Teamsters are only giving us 40% of the money that UPS contributes into the Central States fund. The APWA will represent only UPS workers and thus, all the money (100%) will be ours, and it stands to reason that more money translates to better benefits. [/QUOTE]
