Retired but can we be a drivers helper ?

[Round the block again]

I’m retired and wondering if we can be a drivers helper for Christmas. Does the union let us do this. Would like to help but not mess up my pension. Wondering if there’s any retired drivers that work as helpers sometimes.

Why did you retire then?

 

[Karma...]

sure...I believe that both retired teamsters and management can work peak......ups can really use the experienced help......I could be wrong

It all depends on who administers your pension.

Hell, you can be a driver here I know 2 guys that do it every year top driver wages and they don’t work over 8 hours unless they want to

Yeah but your pension gets put on hold while you are working.

Not here company and union worked a “ deal” because they can’t find drivers

I checked last year with Local 710. Was told I would have to suspend my pension while I worked unless I was 70 1/2.

The thought NEVER entered my mind. I wouldn't go back for quadrupel pay. As far as I know they only ask those who have been retired less than five years.

They don't ask drivers to come back only management. LoL

They ask feeder drivers to come back every peak here.

I honestly do not know why they don't ask so of retired drivers if they want to come back especially with the lack of quality it's some of these seasonal drivers seem to have.
They get some real winners

I would love to have a retiree come with me this peak. But, the moment they start to tell me what they will and won't do, I'm cutting them loose.

They probably figure that there's no way in hell a retired package car driver will come back for peak. Feeders isn't anywhere near as bad, it's just moving trailers around.
