[QUOTE="NWUPSER, post: 139510"] wkmac, I like the idea of UPSers having our own union. I'm quite a few years from retirement and am cocerned that the pesion fund in its current form is like the Social Security problem. The teamsters can't continue to sqeeze UPS to pay for pensions for it's non-UPS members forever. At some point us UPSers will have to pay for those increasing pension contributions with smaller wage increases, less medical coverage, or whatever else is needed to make up that cost. Certainly we need union representation. I guess my concern is; at some point does the union reach a point where they must be more concerned about sustaining themselves as an organization and less concerned about whats best for the people it represents? Is there a point where we become a tool to keep them in business? I like the idea of our own union so that there is less chance that the interest of the members are conflicting. Just one person rambling. [/QUOTE]
