[QUOTE="Bill, post: 189083, member: 5483"] Here is what you can expect from the Teamsters. They claim they have many years of experience negotiating contracts, but when it comes time to win a solid contract, we are sold out. The contracts only benefit the Teamster union, and not the hard working employees of UPS. Let's take the "best contract ever". Sure they got a $5 raise over the 6 year contract, but after adjusting for inflation, we are actually worse off than in 2002, but the Teamsters union was happy as they were able to increase union dues as your salary went up. Benefits were cut to the point where we now pay higher deductibles, higher co-pays, and had our pension future accruals) slashed in half. Once again, I ask the question: How are we better off with the Teamsters? What are they actually doing for us that doesn't benefit themselves? Why do they expect us to work until the age of 65 (CS), when they can retire without restrictions and receive the hefty pension set aside for themselves? [/QUOTE]
