[QUOTE="opie, post: 58403"] Yes I remember all the naysayers. And I'm still here. I like UPS and would like to have a career at UPS. I am not affected by Central States. I belong to Local 177, I believe our benefits and pension are administered/managed by UPS. So, I could go 25/30 and out. It would be nice to have a degree to fall back on.
