And he’s a MOD here ? Great. I see this going nowhere like most all the threads here then if he’s already trolling. Lolol.

thanks for the information. I see your east coast DC.
Born and raised NY. Loved my DC trips as a kid.

He's not a mod either...
And yes, east coast is the best coast

And maybe you didn’t read the post. I said I’m calling first thing Monday morning. And have an appointment with an Atty for next week.
Just trying to see if any other fellow teamsters had any experiences.
of course you can’t take anything on these boards as the law. Just asking a question. Without having a moderator coming in and derailing the tread with his humor.

Listen NO ONE here is going to be able to help you . You need to call your hall and or talk to your local business agent . Ever situation is different.

Awesome. Then just another troll. Trolls are everywhere on every board. I’d usually just delete there accounts and be done with them. But this forum seems to thrive on the trolling humor.

You are not getting 3300 for 15 years.

Here you would be pretty close.

 

[UPS4E]

Where are you located ?

And again everyone. I understand no one here can give me the correct information. I’m just looking to see if maybe someone who’s been in the same sinking boat lol.

I’ve lurked here for years. Just thought I’d come in and ask.
Got a little bored,we have some bad fires going on right now. We’re in no danger. But the smoke isnt good for me.

Once Monday comes I’ll be on the phone with my rep
And I have an appointment with a good Wc/disability Atty.

Here you would be pretty close.

Thanks for the info.

You'd get about 3300/month in my local, not sure about Western States. Don't you Guys have Peer 80 or some such?

Holy Crap--I only get 3k a month and that's for 30 years service. I doubt 15 years would even get you a grand here.

3k was worth a lot more when you first started drawing your pension though. One the biggest problems with our pensions is that they're not indexed to inflation, if we average 3% inflation per year in 15 years your pension has actually shrunk by 45% even though the dollar amount is the same.

The pension fund is going broke fast enough without indexing inflation. All that will do is bankrupt the fund sooner and everyone loses.

You're welcome .

Wasn't suggesting that they should be indexed, just pointing out that if you plan to retire early you need to take that into account.

Still keeping your fingers crossed hoping there is some left for you I see

The government says there is only 1.5% inflation this year ---at least that is what the SS raise is suppose to be.

Mostly just a bunch of old bitter dudes with nothing better to do than make unfunny jokes and memes.

Talk to several people at work in the know. You’ll never get real info here.
