[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1188452, member: 43436"] UPS has never promised "free" (or near it) lifelong benefits to retirees. And retired UPSers will be one of the few workers to retain benefits, and perhaps at the most affordable cost. It's still a very generous, valuable perk. Nor is it not as if you weren't compensated handsomely, often with above-market wages & benefits, for the work you performed. UPS is still a business and needs to look out for its best interests now & in the future. I also despise bloated executive pay, but until a strong movement in this country takes shape to increase general wages & benefits (real compensation for most Americans continues to decline, despite record productivity - UPS is an exception), it's not going to change and handicapping UPS will hurt - not help - our cause. Kinda like if the Chicago Cubs decided that the market for pitching had become too bloated, and thus they were only going to pay $5M/year for a #1 starter. Think it's going to work? [/QUOTE]
