[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1025217, member: 14668"] [b]Re: Comparison: Last, Best & Final to Pre-strike proposals[/b] When I took a driving job at UPS, I was both aware and accepting of the fact that most of the package cars we had in service at the time were grossly deficient in terms of basic safety features such as 3 point belts, low steps and power steering. [U]I didnt [I]like[/I] it, of course, but it was part of the deal that I signed on for and I could choose to either take it or leave it. I chose to take it. [/U]I bring these shortcomings up not to complain about them, but merely to point out the reality that UPS's [I]actions[/I] in regards to both my safety and overall well being as a person speak far louder than its [I]words[/I]. Any corporate entity that would make a [I]calculated and intentional decision[/I] that my life was not worth the $50 expense of a 3 point seat belt is [I]not[/I] an entity that I would want to have control over something so vital to my and my wife's future as my [I]pension[/I]. When you enroll in a pension plan, you are placing a great deal of [I]trust[/I] in the entity that manages it. In 1997 I was required to make a choice in regards to which entity (UPS management vs. Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust) I felt had [I]my[/I] best interests at heart in regards to my retirement. Based upon past [I]actions [/I]as opposed to [I]words, [/I]the choice was as obvious back then as it still is today. [/QUOTE]
