[QUOTE="Teamster251, post: 156749, member: 6213"] First of all, and this has been said a thousand time I guess you just can't grasp the whole thing, the contract has nothing to do with what you get for your pension. [B]NO WHERE[/B] in the contract does it mention a specific amount you will receive upon retirement. The contract does however mention contribution rates that the company agrees to pay in your behalf to the pension funds. [B]THERE IS NO "SET IN STONE AMOUNT" IN THE CONTRACT...............PERIOD[/B] Like your Overnite salary/wages grow, so do the pension contributions and pension rates with the pension funds. Are you assuming that that we, under contract, are only getting 3000 per month 20 years from now while your pension grows and ours doesn't. Besides the fact the your assumption is wrong, you must believe that the mob and the teamsters are still building casinos and borrowing moneis from the funds. Let me also mention that those funds that were mis-used, but paid back, [B]were also aprroved by the trucking company execs[/B] on the trustee boards at the time of this wrong doing. Here are some facts those Overnite Anti-Union Propoganda Meetings forgot to mention. 1. Your union pension grows as you do with the fund wehter it be with said companynor another. 2. Most info and propogandas used in theose meeting were facts or action from the 70's. 3. Joining the union doesn't "start you over", you retain comapny seniority, hire dates, vacations earned, etc. 4. The of loans (stealing as they put it), lawyer fees, administration over fees for running tenson are over. 5. Being non flexitive becasue you are Union is a falsehood. The union goes out of its way to make sure the comany can operate and survivie. Remember without the compnay the union doesn't exist. The lsit goes on and on. Bottom line is the company (then Overnite) didn't want the union. UPS however wants it, works better with it, has better connol of its worker with it, can control its operation better, equally, and on a level playing feild thoughout the system with it. T251 PS BTW if you only expect to make 80-90 grand in 20 years you will be living at poverty level base on the growth rate of infaltion and cola [/QUOTE]
