[QUOTE="Bill, post: 150949, member: 5483"] The employees in Central States have been issued a pamphlet explaining the many restrictions that are placed on us. It is set up so that the Teamsters keep our pension money for additional years for them to enjoy. If we retire before the age of 62 or 65 (depending on years of service), we get penalized 6% for each year under this age. For example, if I retire at age 55, I would lose 7 times 6% or 42 % of the pension money I earned after these cuts took effect. My medical, if I elected to keep them, would be $1,080 a month after I retire. By the time the Teamsters are finished reducing my pension, I will have very little left to live on. I don't know what part of the country you are from, but do you have these restrictions as well? I doubt it. This is just the beginning. Eventually, cuts will be made to most, if not all, pensions plans handled by the Teamsters. I will bet that you didn't even bother to check the salaries that these business agents make or the huge salaries that the Teamster leaders are taking for themselves while they impose cuts on us. The business agent in question is never around to answer calls. He shows his face once in a blue moon, shakes your hand, and leaves. Don't be naive and think that he is working for free at the city council. I know it is not a big salary from the city, but he is still working at a job other than the one that we are paying him to do. Out of curiousity, what is your position with UPS? Are you a driver, or a paid representative of the Teamster Union? [/QUOTE]
