It shows how disconnected corperate is from the day to day operations. So sad.
This is a joke, right ??
that guy looks like a pupet on a string
I wonder if it's just coicendence, this news came out today, with the UPS stock review (to buy some)....
25000 more drivers retire within 5 years. means 25000 more on the payroll (pensions and medical).
Besides, don't know how the lower dollar value will effect UPS. It effected GM big time - negativly !

The more I see this and the more I hear about this the more it just pisses me off.
Hey, UPS.................................... you have drivers that are on layoff. Let's take care of them first.
There was an article on upsers.com stating that the yahoo article was misleading. The article made it seem like UPS was going to be hiring 25,000 new people for driver jobs. The upsers.com article said that UPS does expect a large wave of retirees and intends to fill the vast majority of available driver spots by promoting existing part timers. I assume that would include any laid off employees as well.

...this is why I am always urging my younger co-workers, those with less than 10 years service, to fully fund their 401k's or other retirement investments, so that when their time comes they will be free to make the decision to retire and not have that decision be dictated by their finances. I know that it is not that simple and that life does get in the way of one's dreams but it is possible to both live today and plan for tomorrow. Our pension fund (NYS Teamster) is considering raising the minimum retirement age to 57, regardless of number of years of service, which means that you (NHDRVR) would have to put in 37 years to receive what you would have received with only 30 yrs. I will be 58 when I get my 30yrs so I am OK but I do regret not paying more attention to my own 401k.
