[QUOTE="Bill, post: 171530, member: 5483"] Hey Brett, remember the last time the Teamsters negotiated a contract for us back in 2002? They said it was the best contract ever. During this best contract, we endured pension cuts, and reduced health and welfare benefits. The only thing that I am afraid of is that the Teamsters will give us another "best ever contract". The only thing that the Teamsters increased was higher union dues, so that they can line their pockets further. The Teamsters admit that the pension is seriously underfunded, and more money is needed. As more employees retire each year, the pension fund gets further and further in the hole. As far as the Teamsters starting to negotiate a new contract, it is just another device they use in order to deceive us into thinking that they are actually negotiating anything. The reality is that UPS will not pony up additional money to fund a pension that is given away to employees of other companies. If and when an agreement is reached, it will happen around the time that the current contract is due to expire August 2008. [/QUOTE]
