[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 183302, member: 1664"] If the AWPA pension is based on a best case scenario, then why did teamsters Central States S.E. & S.W. report a 14.5% return for 2006 and we still are only funded at 59%?The AWPA plan in based on a 12.5% return invested in Income Fund of America. (Just do a simple google search to find it.) The same recession would effect all funds. Why is it that CS blames the drop in 2002 of the stock market to reduce our pensions, while other funds rebounded and are fully funded? Could it possibly be bad investment management? Good point about receiving a paycheck, better point that you are not receiving a pension. Strike fund, that should be a strong selling point to stay with the teamsters. Did you receive your $50.00 check in 1997? Did the teamsters union take out their union dues of $40.00. After taxes you could not buy lunch with that big strike fund check. You ponder that maybe one day a real union will come along. How about building one from the ground up that only benefits UPSer's? I do not know where you get the data that APWA is only supported on this board and no where else. Sorry about the "I think not" comment, it was just too easy of a shot and I took it. Now to the point of you trying to be insulting with the term morons, maybe I can help you with that. A maroon is the highest classification of mental deficiency,( ranging about 50 to 75 on the standard intelligence quotient scale) above imbecle and idiot. So, if you think someone is an idiot and you call them a maroon ,you actually are giving them a compliment. Pax [/QUOTE]
