This is why a lot of us are voting no on this contract.

25 and out at any age $2,000
25 and 57 years of age $2,500 plus $100 for each year of service
30 and out at any age 3,900 at any age after Jan. 2020
35 and out is $4,300 after Jan.2020.
Anybody that votes yes to this contract is accepting a $1900 dollar discrepancy for 5 years of seniority. If you became a full timer at 21 and retire at 51 you get $3900 with a longer life expectancy than a 57 year old that retires with 25 friend/T years and only gets $2500. Not to mention any friend/T that retires before 57 and only gets $2,000.

Those are terrible numbers.

About the 25 year pension? Yes, but that is for 25-29 years. If you have 30+, it jumps to 3400+/year.
That's my point if you vote yes and you retire with 30 friend/T years after Jan. 2020 you get $3,900. If you retire with 25 years you get $2,000. Why the huge GAP.

Retirement is already being discouraged by the work load.
Quite the opposite.

Just ask any management at UPS about the new “transformation” they are doing. Basically offering severance packages to older employees, higher pay bands, and non essential personnel.

The whole reason for the gap between 25 and 30 is simple.

If you are absolutely sick of UPS and hate working here, you’ll take the 25 and out, $2000 or $2500.

If you made it to 30 and out and see the $3900, you might stay a couple more years with $100 for every year. At that point you’re probably in your mid to late 50’s at the earliest. UPS doesn’t want old guys, they need fresh horses to pull the carriage, and will offer more to put you out to pasture.

To discourage early retirement. That drains pension funds.

Nice glass is 1/2 full view point. If your name was Dave I'd say your living in the BOG!

Care to see the other side of the coin?

At 200+ stops a day, 330+ pieces delivered a day, 100+ pieces picked up a day, all in 11 hours very, very few will make it to 30 years. The body can not take the abuse they are inflicting upon us anymore. Now with Coyote Logistics fewer feeder positions will open up to move into so no relief there.

The company and the Union knows and has known for some time the number making it to 30 years is dwindling fast. SO therefore don't change the retirement for the majority of those who will retire to match inflation.

"We've screwed them on the front end (raises don't match inflation) and we screwed them on the back end!"

That's why the gap is ludicrous, there asking more of us and dangling a 30 year carrot in front of all of us that very few of us will ever reach. 25 is as important as 30 and 35, if not more.

I know the other side of the coin.

If they offered, say $3000 after 25, a lot more people would retire at 50 or under, giving 25+ years to take money out, and pensions would be in worse shape than they already are.

But would gain by retiring a older driver for a younger one in progression. I’d be curious to see the difference in pay during those 5 years vs the pension contributions, and measured increase in production from a younger driver.
