[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 198998, member: 5831"] You have to be kidding? I saw countless pension funds sue the likes of Enron and others. The unfortunate thing is having a pension and health benefits mixed together too. We are sending more money than ever from pension side over to cover health costs. I also agree that the people managing the funds helped screw it all up. Bad investments, bad coices, bad oversight, and on and on. You missed the fact that Hoffa and his boys asked for a certain amount of money for pension contributions, and a certain amount for pay raises for the workers and such. I was all for paying the part timers more since our loads depend on good workers and a stable preload work force. But I would rather have had flat 75 cent raises for the length of the contract for the full timers and moved the rest to the pension. And I would agree to that logic again this contract. You know if UPS would try a whole new approach to treating us better, we would take less in pay for better working conditions, flex time, fewer hours, etc etc and maybe allow more combo jobs that help keep costs down and allow more people to make it to retirement. I think CS sucks for its failures but I also blame Hoffa's richest, best contract ever! [/QUOTE]
