Nope I am not a newbie I Have 30 years in started don't care if you believe me or not I just know this it's a shame that the Teamsters and the central states pension fund now was going to go belly up pretty much kicking all of the retirees to the curb because you can rest a sure in this upcoming contract they're going to be forgotten about and UPS will not I repeat will not make up the shortfall the Teamsters let us down

Little boy...lmao... rods older than the hills pal....that's no way to talk to your elders!!!!
You are so sadly mistaken how many times do people come up and ask you where they can get a job with this company they pay very well you are compensated greatly for what you do yes you give up a lot but most people would do whatever they could to get this job and that's a fact so go ahead and pull out your strike signs and let Orion take your job because anybody off the street can do the job I'm not being mean I'm just being honest I am concerned but I prepared if in the event the strike does happen I have a back up plan
And I will tell you a lot of the people getting ready to retire are waiting for this upcoming contract because they are concerned that the Teamsters will throw them under the bus and that their retirement go belly up look at what they did they were trying to reduce the payments and Congress kick them to the curb then the union acted like Congress was Trying to take their pension away and they had nothing to do it that they were playing both sides of the fence that's crooked I don't trust them
You should focus on learning how the pension works.

We all know how the pension works.
Ups pays out the rear end
The teamsters steal all the $ and are left with pennies to pay the members
FACT

The poor central states retirees

I do hope that this "back up plan" includes punctuation and the proper use of sentence structure.

That's a commentary on the said state of the American job market since all the bad free trade deals. If I could start out a plumber, electrician, carpenter , etc making same or similar money I would choose a trade. Similar demographic for all skilled/semiskilled workers. Every company is looking is vying for the same employee. Can you say labor shortage.

To clarify, there is not a labor shortage but rather there is a shortage of skilled labor. Manufacturing jobs remain unfilled due to a lack of qualified people to fill them.

Hence......
Like I said, not all teamsters are dumb but you are an exception.
Retired in January 2017 after researching all the FACTS regarding the CSPF, in spite of all the doom and gloom guys like 87brown who are sticking around a few more years. Why? Because the money I'm receiving from the CSPF is a part of my financial plan and losing a portion of it in a worst case scenario can easily be replaced if needed. After working for 30 yrs at UPS you should have a lot more than a pension benefit to rely on in retirement. And even 87brown or anhourover can't blame that on the teamsters.
Just wait, they will. Cloudy day - Hoffa's fault, car won't start - that damn Kenny H, wife left him - Sean O...
In response to the brown elf I guess you're right when you work for UPS and you have A contract with the Teamsters union and it says you are eligible to retire after 25 or 30 years with a pension I guess I shouldn't depend upon it even though UPS pays that money to the Teamsters to give to me and/or members I guess I shouldn't rely on what the teamster say I guess you got me I'm the sucker The teamster stalled it that's all I got to say they are set to screw their own members remember this thread UPS retirees will lose their pension in the central states pension fund and it's coming your way to other pension funds trust me on that
No pension fund situation should be stopped in the company should offer 401(k) match so you are in control of it having someone else in control of your future totally stinks you sign a contract with the union they're supposed to make sure that it's taken care of and they let us down. Fact in the discussion that argument cannot be broken and trust me the retirees now will end up losing your pension how was the conspiracy Guy when the strike happened and telling everyone it was about the pension not unfair labor practice is and over 70 pounds they screwed us all and everyone still believes him if you believe with the union says you're the sheep do your own homework it's unfortunate but we are going to pay the price
