[QUOTE="Froggie, post: 1185431, member: 47440"] It seems that unions were strongest when government was weakest. Your UPS pension has No cost of living allowance. You might expect to live to be 90 years old. Most of the services seniors use nursing care, house keeping will continue to rise if the inflationary effects of minimum wage unchecked. The Libertarian in me wants the government out of contracts and unions in charge. If the Union were to negotiate a COLA for retirees more would retire earlier. As it is most are afraid of retirement and 30 yrs of reduced purchasing power. No reason to think that incensed minimum wage is going to make your retirement better. Good wage are paid because your company makes money and you make them share it. [/QUOTE]
