[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 55473"] "Someone must contribute more than us right?" OK, the answer to that question is NOPE. And like him or not, Tie did post the truth on the whole mess. Look at what you posted "Central States stats, CS currently has: over 150,000 active participants. more than 206,000 retirees and surviving spouses each month." And just how long do you think this unballanced retirement will last? Currently there is only a bit less than 47 grand in the kitty for all of those that are retired and those that are putting money into the plan. And the paltry sum that is being placed into the fund only figures out to $950 a month for the current retired crowd. We are the largest payor of funds into the multi employer plans. Deal with it. I have a retired Teamster on my route. Died in the wool hard core. HIs pension is $175 a month with no insurance. And to this day he is still hard core teamster, even though they have truely screwed him. As for the teamsters wanting to grow, that is bull. 549 went belly up and we tried to work it so we could service the area. Our area overlaps much of the same area. But because of who you know and blow at the international, they were given to the local out of North Carolina. We told them that if our local were able to recruit in the area we could deliver some 5000 new high paid workers into the union. But they seem like they dont care. So, show me what you have to offer, the business plan. Show me more than a pie in the sky. As a practical matter, with less than 520 working days left, what happens really has no bearing on my situation, but I am still interested in reforms when it comes to the Teamsters and UPS. d PS, by the way, under the current way the benefits read, if my wife and I are killed right now, my children only get 37 grand in life insurance. They never get one dime of my pension. (Message edited by dannyboy on February 19, 2005) [/QUOTE]
