Is UPS crying Poor (underfunded non-union retirement) for more major takeaways?

[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 2949845, member: 37112"] PT as a career? Moving from PT to FT has been and continues to be the strategy those wicked Teamsters have employed successfully. Ask a room full of FT members twenty five years ago how many had PT time, about a quarter raise their hands. Ask that question now and almost all hands are up. Pretty sure Christ wasn't on part time progression...and He wasn't too interested in GWI's. Now you cracked the caper wide open super sleuth Clouseau. Lets expound on this well thought out theory. The Teamsters negotiate insurance that kicks in a year out knowing PT retention is about 30%. Then finally after H&W contributions start on behalf of those who last a year and then quit, the Teamsters then...... LEAVE it in the funds to pay H&W claims on those career PT's you're advocating for. Weren't you ripping on the Teamsters awhile back saying all they want is dues money? Now take a deep breath and ponder on this partner. If your supposition were accurate, you must understand the Teamsters would be money ahead by throwing PT H&W coverage away and negotiating increased PT wages (thereby dues) instead. Then the Teamsters would actually have funds available for use rather than locked into an H&W fund. Sorry to be a rain cloud on your sunny day. The hell with logic...carry on. [/QUOTE]
