[QUOTE="oldupsman, post: 2143057, member: 42268"] I'm sorry for you young man. I sincerely am. Because you're going to get screwed. I've been retired 8 years now and there is no doubt I saw the best of the union. It's all over. Oh maybe not this year or the next, but down the road it's coming. Sticking together is a thing of the past. No one dares go on strike. Can't afford to. How many guys have personal strike funds set aside. Back in the day alot of guys did. As a retiree I fully expect to get screwed. It's starting now with the pension cuts. I expect them to get worse. The IBT will give up whatever it takes just to make sure everyone gets their stinkin 70 cent raise each year. Like it's some kind of Holy Grail. There is no thought given to long time planning. Wait until they go to 5 year progression. Health care has just gotten worse. But you're suppose to be grateful because it's better than somebody else's. Yeah well somebody else's company isn't making $4 billion profit a year. If it makes you feel any better I remember the first contract that started this progression crap. I objected quite loudly at the meeting. You know what I was told by my Illustrious IBT official. "What do you care, it won't affect you." You don't have to worry about UPS dividing you kid. You need to worry about the IBT. [/QUOTE]
