I like to know the last time you been tom a union meeting and ask a question and told to sit down and shut up. If you are in packages you think you can work till your 62. Come on people cum to reality. Thank god i'm in feeders and don't have to work as hard as a package driver. also remember there is no25 and out. Did you gorget they took that away from us without telling you. What next that they are going to take away from us without telling us. People start reading and get the facts from both sides and then decide.Bustrbyte said:
Good post roadking, I like your name too is it after the Harley?roadking said:APWA, is for real, not driven by mgmt but by good hard working UPSers who just want to get what we are paying for! ex. the maint.people in my shop are represented by the I.A.M.(machinist union) over the past 30yrs. they have put (within 800.00 dollars) of what a full time emplyee represented by the IBT has put into their pension. They will recieve 8000.00 per month at 30yrs. I obtained a copy of one of they're statements, the person started when he was 30 at age 62 he will recieve 10,054.00 per month!!!! Do some research, get a group together invite representitive from the APWA to your area. Fact we keep 40% of the money we put into our multi-employer fund. Fact by the year 2012 there will be 1 working for every 2 retired. Who's carrying the burden? Ups people, their wives, their children. You have woked hard for your money, now if we work together we can get what we have earned.
That is great!!! I believe so too!The APWA is giving us something to look forward to.I started driving at 40 years old , if I retire at 58 I have no pension after my insurance is paid. The account according to teamster percentages they currently earn on our pension accont would give my about $ 45,000 a year the teamsters tell me I can only get $12,000 a year. Where is the rest of my money?roadking said:APWA, is for real, not driven by mgmt but by good hard working UPSers who just want to get what we are paying for! ex. the maint.people in my shop are represented by the I.A.M.(machinist union) over the past 30yrs. they have put (within 800.00 dollars) of what a full time emplyee represented by the IBT has put into their pension.

good job road king the money ups is putting in the the fund for us we should be getting about 7,000 a month pension and we should have the best insurance you can get. if the apwa takes over we have the say remember it is going to be made up of ups employes onlyroadking said:APWA, is for real, not driven by mgmt but by good hard working UPSers who just want to get what we are paying for! ex. the maint.people in my shop are represented by the I.A.M.(machinist union) over the past 30yrs. they have put (within 800.00 dollars) of what a full time emplyee represented by the IBT has put into their pension.

1 . That is part of the reason there is such apathy,another is our own union finds ways to devide us, such as different pensions and insurance depending on where you happen to work, we all do the same jobs we should all have the same retirement package.The officers of the APWA just met with the people that will manage the pension for us, they will do all the administration (write checks, taxes, statements etc. for 1/10th of 1% check that against any teamster managed fund you like. P.S I'm a wanna be Harley rider ( my bike money is going in the 401k for obvious reasons) Live long and prosper! Sorry rambled abit tired feeder guy, need sleep!!!!!!I believe it is about time someone challenged the teamsters. I have been to meetings in Knoxville,Tn (2) Lexington,Ky Springboro,Oh and Lima,Oh.the support is overwhelming.This is not just a challenge it is for real and will happen. People need to get on board now and make a statement,let the teamsters know it is not just about pensions but the deceptions and all that they stand for.I have met Van Skillman and Danny Eason they are two down to earth great guys. The stand for honesty and integrity. They are very truthful in what they present. If you have not been to a meeting or had one close to you in your state then contact them @ parcelworkers to set a meeting time. They will be glad to respond and set a time.cheryl said:
