[QUOTE="crystal_ball, post: 53834"] This is my 1st post and the shroud of pension secrecy concerns me. I have kept all my pay stubs sice day 1. Im aligned with Central States. Worked 7 1/2 years hourly, before I got into what the company and the union call "full time" however the last 3 years of what they refer to as "part time" I was a "cover" driver. Everyone knows how that language was abused since cover drivers were making 2/3 of a "full time" drivers pay in the early to mid 90's. They would work us cover drivers longer hours than everyone else and give days off to full timers which I thought was a misinterpretation of the contracts language by the company. My question is if I worked over 750 hours each year during my PT years, how does this play into my total pension in the end and what age restrictions are there whith this combo mess? It sucks that labor laws have been eroded so much that 40 hours dont mean jack! Is it also true that you cant work in the same trade after you retire? I wish there was a website that had a "formula" that you could get a good idea of benefits. I wish the company would not have to subsidize the other teamster pensions, and maybe we get a break on rooms in Vegas by flashing that membership card for past "loans".[img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/icon304.gif[/img] Have a nice day!
