Teamster Buyout?

Sucks to be me? Why would I need to delay retirement? I only had seven years in that fund. The government had a heavy hand inhelping that fund go broke. I really don’t have a problem with them fixing what they broke and continued to break for decades by not allowing the fund to do much of anything.

I did go to all of those meetings with the retirees nervously awaiting the outcome or someone to help them with something they had nothing to do with breaking. I felt very bad for them. Taught me a very valuable lesson don’t count on your other brothers and sisters to give a damn about you and certainly don’t count on the government to help you. I saved accordingly I’ll be fine. Thankfully, in this instance, the same people who paved the path to break it it came to you and now I want to tell you how great they are for fixing what they manipulated to break. I’m not gonna get super excited about that.
Thanks Dave

Maybe start 30 plus years ago, extending retirement age, putting more into the pension fund? That's a good start.

I believe Dave is still going in every morning, off the clock, to sort his truck, even though he is retired!!!!!

Sure. That would only delay the inevitable. Do you think delivering packages is as hard as launching SpaceX rocket?
The general public isn't the end consumer of a rocket. Do you think after an event where 100s of thousands of packages that Amazon promised would be delivered in 2 days didn't show up on time or at all the general public would have trust in Amazon to deliver their goods?

Last mile delivery has become a liquid business model. I think trust no longer plays a role, people are used to getting stuff within 24 hours or less. If UPS and the Teamsters can’t adapt together, they may both go down.
