[QUOTE="Bill, post: 155144, member: 5483"] There is false sense of job security at UPS. If you do your job, you have nothing to worry about. However, if you are a screw-up, UPS will find a way to fire you with or without the Teamsters. Who are you kidding when you say good health benefits? The benefits keep getting worse, you are paying more and receiving less. The insurance company (Central States) denies claims or pays very little, leaving you with the balance. The reason for this is that the Teamsters are diverting your health and welfare money into the pension fund, which by the way, is also taking big cuts. The Teamsters are also giving away 60% of UPS money to other companies. Do you like receiving only 40% of what you are entitled to? UPS contributes $1.3 billion into the pension fund annually. If we had access to 100% of the money, your pension would be secure and you would receive approximately $7000 per month in your pension. As it stands now, we receive less than $3000 per month with many restrictions after working for 30 years. After applying penalties, you might receive $1000 per month depending on your age. the APWA wants to rectify that by giving you what you are entitled to with no penalties. Why can the APWA do this, but the Teamsters can't. Simply put, the Teamsters are using our money to support other companies, we receive only 40% of the money. The APWA which represents only UPS employees, will have access to 100% of the money. The cost of union dues is a joke.
