[QUOTE="Bill, post: 133724, member: 5483"] I have been working for UPS over 25 years. When I started, we were told that we had a decent pension and excellent benefits. That was the case then, but not any longer. Why should someone start working for UPS today, when the pension is decreasing and the medical benefits are getting worse each year. Blue-cross has stopped paying for many procedures and when they do, we have to file appeal after appeal before they pay up. It is getting aggravating just to go to the doctor. Why isn't the UPS management team stepping in and demanding that the money they pay for their employees benefits go to their employees? Does management really want 60 year old package car drivers who can barely walk deliver 5 stops per hour? Feeder drivers can't retire because of all the restrictions that the Teamsters has placed on us, so your workforce of package car drivers will be getting older and older each year. Do you remember the company that UPS ran out of business? Railroad Express. Why? One reason is that the drivers were old men and couldn't do much. Do you want the same fate to befall UPS? I don't think so. It is time that management stepped in and did something!!!! Afterall, they are paying billions of dollars each year and getting little for their money. [/QUOTE]
