Looks like the fund will go broke now in 10-12 years. When this happens members will be put into the PGTF. Not good!!
No one knows exactly what will happen. Assuming the pension fund does go insolvent in 10-12 years and they don't do anything to fix it in the meantime. There will be at least one or two contracts negotiated before then. Granted the last contract said UPS will make up shortfall. However, UPS will not want to be on the hook for billions. (Considering they already paid twice for the pension of Central State teamsters). That part will be negotiated away. Or at least attempted to be. How many people will vote to strike for something that doesn't benefit themselves and only other retired people? A 2 or 3 dollar raise to the PT'ers or a bonus will make them vote yes.How is that gonna work if UPS is on the hook for making up the difference?

Absolutely agree that most UPS Union workers will vote themselves a raise rather then give up anything for a bunch of dinosaurs.No one knows exactly what will happen.

Take a nickel today and give up a dollar tomorrowAbsolutely agree that most UPS Union workers will vote themselves a raise rather then give up anything for a bunch of dinosaurs.
Well let's also not forget how many billions ups paid to get out of that plan.Absolutely agree that most UPS Union workers will vote themselves a raise rather then give up anything for a bunch of dinosaurs.
6 billion isn't chump changeWell let's also not forget how many billions ups paid to get out of that plan.
I'm not saying just tell the old guys toughbut I don't think lack of funds from ups is a problem with the central states pension.

Could be talk of merging multi employer pensions into one big fund.

Have you seen a proposal?That would be grossly unfair for those outside of Central States.
With what money?Government should bail it out. Being that they were put in charge of watching over it since 1982 when it was put under their watch it is nothing more than a government pension to begin with. Government pension= Government bail-out.
Print some up!With what money?
Yeah, that's it.Why not---its done every day.
