[QUOTE="The Milkman, post: 2087731, member: 22760"] It's a shame that you had to contemplate when to hang it up.. The increase in us retirees pay keeps shrinking our net pension check every month. Working longer in this company will in due time cause many to limp out instead of walking out on their last day. I like Bubblehead, over the years would of been happy with a dime per hour raise just to keep my(at the time) future benefits intact that I would be looking forward to. Now since I retired in 08 my health costs are now $100.00 more per month than what I was told I would expect during my golden years. Next year it will be $150.00 per month, and that's just for me. Poor guys with families are getting spanked along with more copays for drugs etc etc. These current drivers and others will be paying more and more down the road now that the door has been opened by their actions on this last contract. A nice large juicy pension check will soon be watered down more and more year after year with the increased cost of healthcare payments ok'd by current employees who by then may realize the mistake they made voting in sub par contracts just to get a buck an hour over the years. At least leave the benefit packages alone for retirees who paved the way for UPS to grow and expand many years ago to the behemoth it has become. That in itself would be a victory in negotiations instead of a giveback, which once it's gone............it's never coming back. Just ask the red circled guys ( if there are any left) what that means [/QUOTE]
