[QUOTE="Bill, post: 193505, member: 5483"] UPS contributes $214 per week per employee into the pension plan. In Central States, we are credited with less than half that amount. On August 1, 2007, the weekly contribution goes up to $238 per week, but we sill not see any increase in our pension, because the pension fund is in critical condition (47.2% funded) and under the red zone amendment recently passed in Congress, we are not allowed to receive an increase until the pension is 100% funded, which is never going to happen. Does it make sense that the more UPS contributes, we receive the same or less each year? Wake up already, and look at the entire picture. It is time to abandon the Teamsters and start our own union (APWA), where we receive what is rightfully ours. The Teamsters are supposed to be working for us, but instead, we are working for them, and if that isn't enough, they want us to work until the ripe old age of 65 without further monetary penalties. Do you really think a package car driver can do this job at that age? [/QUOTE]
