[QUOTE="jersey feeder, post: 106898, member: 6005"] When UPS members first joined many of these plans we were the little company -- small group -- and the freight companies were putting in the bulk of the monies. Now it is our turn for a bit -- but the same ones who benefited from those contributions back then -- suddenly have amnesia. You're right our pension is not like paying taxes -- you won't ever see a penny of that money -- and you have minimal control over where it goes. Oh and nope it's not like the collection plate -- that money is freely given from your pocket -- not someone else's (UPS) pocket. How many think UPS (or any company) would provide the pay and benefits we have -- WITH JOB PROTECTIONS -- out of the goodness of their hearts. Business does not have a heart -- only a wallet. I like my job -- like UPS as a company -- but how many of you would have been cast aside long before you got "old" enough to collect a pension -- without the Teamsters -- you lose a step -- see ya. It's a kidding remark around our way but we're known to say that every employee with more than 15 years -- has been fired at least once. [/QUOTE]
