[QUOTE="scratch, post: 243279, member: 1674"] Area43, I was seventeen when I started as an Atlanta Hub Midnight Sort Loader in OCT. '75. I had just started my Senior year in High School, I never planned at that time to stay with UPS as a career. I went to DeVry Tech to study Computer Design, back then, home PCs were just a hobby. The Apple One you bought in a kit form and you had to build a wooden case to hold all the parts together. I'm like a lot of guys where I work. UPS was a great part time job back then, we starting working there too young and are hitting thirty years way before we can draw a pension due to age requirements. Back when Central States offered twenty-five and out at any age, my Local in Atlanta had about six guys draw $2500 a month when they retired at age forty-seven. That is one reason that CS is in the mess it is in now. At the time, the IBT thought it would grow membership to increase Pension funding, but the opposite happened. [/QUOTE]
