[QUOTE="scratch, post: 221495, member: 1674"] Thats the same boat I'm in. With 18-20% of Teamsters not bothering to check a box and drop it in the mailbox, I thought the election was a pathetic showing. I have always supported reform in the IBT, I joined in the seventies when it was full of corruption. I feel I have earned every right to complain about Central States, I have watched its decline for 15-20 years. I voted for Carey and was disappointed in events leading up to the '97 Strike that never should have happened in the first place. Look where Central States is now. We used to get 30 and out at any age, and would draw $3000 a month. Now its work till 62 and draw $2550 if you are married. I started in 1975 and am 49 now. Thirteen more years to get what is left? $1000 a month after CS goes under and the government takes it over? Lets not get into the Health Insurance. I wrote out about $3000 last twelve months in lab, radiologist, doctor, and hospital bills that Blue Cross/Blue Shield didn't pay. I'm for a UPS/Teamster only plan. [/QUOTE]
