[QUOTE="lonsmith, post: 1215926, member: 5204"] [b]Re: The Western Conference and Local 177 H&W DISASTER![/b] This type of thinking is very short sighted. Perhaps some examples will explain why. 1. Joe retired from UPS 4 years ago at age 50 his pension is about $3500 per month. Last year he moved out of the West in order to return to work. Joe now works for FedEx in Indiana. 2. Steve retired 6 years ago at age 52. Steve returned to work almost immediately for non-union Sam's Club. 3. Joe H. retired about 5 years ago out of North Cal and moved to another western state. He now drives for a non-union freight company. 4. Tom retired out of Chicago and moved to a right to work state in the West. He drives a bus, yet won't join the Teamsters. I can give numerous other examples of retired UPSers now working for non-union companies in order to supplement their retirement. When you increase the cost to retirees they will reenter the work force often with non-union companies that take work from union companies. Now why would you want to increase the cost to existing retirees, especially when UPS is making record profits. [/QUOTE]
