[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 207725, member: 2189"] Thanks for the above info 705. As to the SS issue I'd like to just throw out 2 things to think about but before I do it consider this. Anything is possible and I mean anything. May not be likely but it's still possible. Now on the SS isssue. Several months ago the rumor mill among management was that this was going to happen with their pension and when it was all said and done, someone just got to excited and the rumors went wild as nothing like this ever happened. After the recent Corp. buyout, just a week or so ago we see in another thread that now the big secret is the company will buy out the drivers. Talk about a bunch of BIG BS! Until we see something in print, I consider this SS rumor in our situation as the same rumor (Corp SS/pension) having infested our side of the fence and nothing more. Secondly and again reminding that anything is poosible but I just don't see the IBT giving into that demand because of the presedence set that could in future years come to effect other retirement funds. Also UPS is a smart company and is not goingto cut off it's nose to spite it's face if it really wants control of this part of the pension system. UPS has a lot of folks on their side right now IMO or that at least seems to be the thinking in my area (all CS controlled) so why get too greedy when (again, here's that warning "anything possible") UPS if successful in getting the CS pension could in fact make it such a shining example of a good deal and place further pressure on the IBT in the future. That is in fact one potential but nothing more than that as nothing is on paper that any of us have seen. We both know there is nothing on paper as of yet so everything is speculation on our parts so why worry about what we don't factually know. I would think over the next few weeks we should begin to get a clearer picture of where this thing is headed. [/QUOTE]
