[QUOTE="Karma..., post: 4797444, member: 29370"] actually, there are many paths and the trick is finding the correct path for oneself...If I insulted anyone it was unintentional and I apologize. It is clear that teamster pensions currently are better than management pensions in many respects with some notable exception....paying for healthcare is one and the uncertainty of the solvency and reliability of the teamster defined pension......I do not have those concerns.......I see the strong possibility of ups further scaling back ground operations in North America and concentrating overseas where the profits are.....labor costs and population densities are some of the reasons......the i.a.m. has a superior pension and is very very well run......both the teamsters and ups should pay attention and try to emulate. more r.t.w. states will further erode the market share of teamster membership.......consider that in general percentages in forty years union membership has gone from 40% to 10% of the workers.. not very good organizing results and given a choice many people are opting out......future harbingers for sure.those percentages are approximate and vary from area to area yet show or should show a disturbing trend.....what is does show is dismal organizing and failure to keep or convert states to closed shop states.....
