[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 146481, member: 2189"] It sure is sad to see a time where any of us, whether hourly or management, have to feel this way and I see this attitude growing with management folk almost on equal par to the concern of the hourly union members covered by the various Teamster plans. After the late 2003' changes to the Central States plan I thought UPS after the events of 97' would rub our noses in it as they had every right too. Instead and to my shock, they seem to be changing their own to match ours. All I can say to the management folk is what I've said to my IBT bretheren and that is to dedicate the first stanza of the Guns & Roses song, "Welcome to the Jungle" to ya! Looking around everywhere it's just as bad if not in many cases worse (auto maker or airline) but I can remember a day when this was the last thing on our minds as UPSers to be concerned about. And IMO, the very first people that deserve the best retirements money can buy are the hourly and management folks in the trenches day in and day out making it happen at this company. And who are the first to get hurt? I know it pains to say the answer but we both know who it is don't we! Poco, best of luck to ya. Smile Everyone, IT'S SUPER SATURDAY!!!!!! Come about noon I'm off to work again for an afternoon sort as I'm betting the majority of you are either doing the same or have just had a week of pure hell and resting up for another beginning on Monday. But if it makes you feel any better, those big dogs that lead our pack are still working 9 to 5 and are kicked back this weekend enjoying the good life knowing our hard work and efforts will ensure their fat bonus checks under the new upper management compensation plan at UPS. You know, the one that was funded when they slashed and burned your MIP to please Wall Street again but to still fatten their wallets at the same time! Wanna know what kind of company we work for now? Just look at how they treat their own kind! Jim Casey always said, "people first!" But then, what the hell did he know anyway. [/QUOTE]
