[QUOTE="area43, post: 213544, member: 4862"] I agree the cs pension is a mess. Iam in virgina and so far we still have 25 years(2500 dollars a month) at any age. With the option to buy out the last year. Which I will gladly do- the cost for me to buy out the last year is around 10 grand. It will be worth every penny of it. It would be a big disappointment(to put it lightly) if the same thing happened to our plan(pray to God that it wont). I have just have over 19 yrs driving in,(also 2 1/2 pt loader) with a one year buy out I would just have over 20. That means I have just under 5 years to go. Ill be 47. If the Teamster, were to tell me, Hey your going to have to work another 20. I would tell them to go to you know where(Im holden back folks). NOW, dont misunderstand me, this is only pertaining to the pension and nothing else. Everything else the Teamsters have done I am fairly satisfied. In closing, UPS has been great. Old School type of work. UPS and I(with the teamsters backing) have done battle on many occasions and Im sure there may be more to come. Its a game and at the end we can shake hands. Dont take it personal. Mgt has families too. There just as insecure as we are at times and maybe more. A lot of pressure on both sides. I try and be objective. A sup has 10,15 20 or more drivers to look after and then he has the brass barreling down on him. I remember a 16 year driver went into mgt(del sup). He was one of my best friends. After being in mgt for a period of time, he told me , "When I was a driver all I had to worry about was myself, bascially. I only had to work punch to punch. The physical aspect of driving was hard, but I would gladly go back to it, just to escape the mental pressure of being a sup". Well folks, I just wanted to say my peace. Take care-to both sides.
