[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 969107, member: 1664"] [COLOR=#006400][B] I still have the UPS offer in my files. The "offer" that was denied, by the teamsters, to buyout of the failing Central States Pension Fund would have secured the future UPS retiree's a stable paycheck, at the cost of 560 million. 20 and out, and, 25 and out guaranteed at any age. Full health insurance provided for [SIZE=3]free[/SIZE], to the retiree. Yep, da teamsters showed them and went on strike. Central States Pension went down the tubes. 25 and out was still in effect, but the retiree had to deduct 6% for every year under the age of 65. Do the math, and subtract those 6% yearly reductions. If one retired before the age of 57, one was banned from getting health insurance. Hat in hand, da teamsters, accepted a contract that cost UPS 6 billion, instead of 560 million, to save the UPSER's in Central States. [/B][/COLOR] So you deride my post as "informed" minutia and give [B]your[/B] version of events as a counter argument that's based completely on hearsay,"I knew a guy that knew a guy..." Must be very thin air you breathe. Thanks for the normal sized font. [COLOR=#006400][B]The "I knew a guy that knew a guy" comment was sarcasm, but true. Since you know so much, answer me this. (I know the answer). What percentage of UPS teamsters voted to give the negotiation committee the unilateral right to call a strike? Why was the number so small? (I know that answer, also) [/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=#006400][/COLOR][SIZE=5]One more question, what excuse would you have used to quit the Teamsters if they accepted the insufficient offer UPS proposed in '97? Nevermind, I already know. [COLOR=#006400][B]No excuse needed. [SIZE=3]I was lied to. No way in hell will I forget, or forgive.
