[QUOTE="ski or die, post: 2953012, member: 52818"] When I retired in 1998, the booklet they gave me stated health benefits would be $50.00 per month. The last contract that the Teamster leadership negotiated changed that. So, I guess that isn't screwing retirees. The changes did not hurt my family financially as I prepared for retirement. But every dollar is less that can used for other necessities. As far as the Teamsters on bargaining for future retirees, when they retire - they will also be at the mercy of new negotiated contracts that they will not have a voice in. Something that affects their lives and health. People that are on Social Security definitely have a voice with politicians on their futures. As a former steward, one of the issues we fought for was less wage increases and increased pension payments to the union as we looked toward our retirements. Retirees are not looking to have a say on contracts, that only concerns current and future employees. We would just like to have the right to vote on elections so we could use our voices to help in the security of retirement, not have pensions and health benefits reduced. [/QUOTE]
