Go here:

and click on the "Pension Benefits Comparison Chart" to see 19 pension fund benefits compared (as of 7/1/2010).

They are off by quite a bit on Local 639, but I like the idea.

They are a little high on NYS Teamsters as well.

About the same accuracy as Time Studies.

Except that the Chart specifically states it is only a snapshot of available information as of July 1st 2010, and is only a brief summary and does not purport to address the full range of benefits provided by each fund. Each fund is structured differently, so comparisons are not perfect.

Besides, no one is pressured, scapegoated, harrased, threatened, disciplined or terminated as a result of the Comparison's admitted limitations.

well,, hardy har,, im central states,, you know the biggest contributer to the fund,,, and we get crap..dont worry northeners and your 6000 a month for 10 years,, its coming your way

Here, there is no simple answer. Your pension will be much higher if you had 25 years in as of 2006 than after that.
There are tables and schedules... I couldn't answer the question.

Please explain this...pension contributions are much higher than they were for drivers 20 or 30 years ago(I mean the hourly or monthly breakdown) so if things continue to hang on a driver who retired today would be making less per month than a driver who retired in 15 years(minus the difference in tax libility). please correct me if Im wrong.
