[QUOTE="balland chain, post: 1105146, member: 43608"] I have 20 years in the central states plan that will in a matter of time be non existent. Rumor, and I stress rumor that we are hearing is that UPS will no longer cover the years of service we have with central states if they go under. I think if that happens it would go to the PBGC (government backed) and it is about 1/3 of what you were normally getting. Personally, I do not care what I earn. I drive a piece of crap 1995 car that gets great mpg, hell why drive a nice car to park it in a lot in a bad area of town and the only time you can really enjoy driving it is on the weekend, my opinion only. What matters to me in this contract is, in this order, 1) my pension 2) my healthcare 3)the harassment of workers 4) use of their technology for discipline . These younger drivers need to save some of the paycheck. If this contract is one that does not protect us against loosing key benefits we ALL AS A UNION need to send the word to Atlanta, and vote NO !!!! With the economy on the side of the Company, we must stand together. They, even though is seems like they are dumb-ass'es for some of their decisions, are not stupid. They hire the best pencil pushers they can find, they know exactly what they can give us in this contract. The game is to give as little as possible, so they can get richer. If we stand together we can send a message that we will not stand for their Corporate Greed. [/QUOTE]
