[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 72512, member: 2189"] Really! Seems kinda funny to do this now instead of 2 years ago because 2 years ago the financials were actually worse than today. Oh they aren't glowing now by any means and those who know me know my position would be to walk away from everyone and let me have my own money (I don't trust the company or the union or any union for that fact when it comes to these matters) but that said I wonder the motivation behind your post "unregistered"? Besides, the Senate has approved some pension law reforms yesterday with the House about to take on the matter as well. Don't know the complete specifics other than one element would be to "by law" compell employers to carry through with pension promises instead of walking away and leaving the gov't and pensioner to hold the bag. We'll see what the final outcome is but again what was your motive as in "was there really any rumor to begin with?" Just get over the fact CS is here to stay and we will live or die with it. Plan on death and save accordingly and then if nothing happens you'll be ahead of the game. You want some pension reform that would really make a difference to let people bolt the farm early? You want an issue that would likely unite folks on all sides of pension beliefs? Then work and push to remove all work restrictions for retirees at all age levels. Do that and you'd likely have an army especially from the folks with 20 or more years in the bank. Get that in and a ton of folks will walk away, including me, and personally as much as UPS whines about us "ole timers" privately they want us around as long as they can get us because we are use to the old school tactics whereas the newbies aren't entrenched and would more likely park the truck and walk off rather than put up with the "beat ya to get ya" mentality. Management in the trenches also subjected to the same thing IMO so we have more in common with each other than we sometimes realize. JMHO! [/QUOTE]
