[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3610999, member: 49065"] You have a point..They still can mess with you even after you retire, especially with the Central States insolvency. Just ask those who retired before the 2008 contract, they will tell you, and never assume you are protected. That promise in the 2008 contract of UPS covering any reduction of monetary benefits if the Central goes belly up could possible be negotiated out with any future contracts. Your increases co-pays and monthly cost for your Health and Welfare could skyrocket, depending on the costs associated with covering retirees in your region. I have personally seen membership sell their brothers and sisters down the tube, it is not pretty and the ones who did it did it out of ignorance and selfishness. We all have to stand together and really look at this contract and find out what is good about it and what is bad or just how they could of make it better. [/QUOTE]
