[QUOTE="tae111, post: 1075338, member: 5978"] I guess the thing that bothers me most is my wife saw this first and she was pretty upset. The people who made the decision to send this out know full well that this is not a done deal yet. It will be decided in the 2013 contract. It just shows the character of the people running UPS these days. The people who recieved this letter gave their entire working lives to UPS. Many had over 30 years and some over 40 years of service. They were a big part in making a small delivery company into the largest most profitable trucking company on the face of the earth. The purpose of sending this letter out now is a ploy by UPS to cause friction and it will. Retirees have no voting rights in the new contract so it's like attacking someone that can't fight back to see what their friends will do. Kind of like walking up to a blind person and punching them on the face. I am not debating weather we deserve these benefits or not. Thats up to the negotiating committees for the 2013 contract. I am also not some disgruntled ex employee. I spent 36 years full time with UPS. I have been a Shop Steward in both Package and Feeders and was on the negotiating committee for the last contract. I was a Circle of Honor driver with over 30 years of safe driving. I can't even remember the last time I got a warning letter. Maybe one or two when I was a young employee. I was a captian for KORE (remember that?) and United Way. I always believed in doing my job to the best of my ability. I am not looking for a thank you for any of it (good thing since I didn't get one) . The only thing I ask is for you to enjoy the job I helped to make for you and stop trying to hurt me in my retirement. [/QUOTE]
