[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 55481"] OK From your posts, you seem to have a limited knowledge of what is going on. UPS is not trying to shaft the UPS retirees, they just dont feel that they ought to make good on promises made to retirees of other companies. There is only so much money they can afford to place into a pension fund, and the more they place into central states to shore up the hemorage there, the less they have to increase the funding of ours. As for making that decision, there comes a time when a person who has gangrene needs to make a choice, do I keep the leg or arm and die, or get it cut off to survive. After several years of trying every means they know of to fix the problem, they now know that to get out while only supporting the UPS workers is no longer an option. For better or worse, you are all in the same sinking boat. And unless UPS can cut the losses now and attempt to rebuild...... You ever asked how many of the funds 200,000+ retirees are UPS employees? And how much percentage wise UPS puts into the fund? And how many of the current employees are UPS employees? Do the math. I dont know if the new association could pull central states out of the slide they are in, but I really dont see much of a choice. As far as letting our gooberment watch the union, that is like letting the fox watch the weasle secure the henhouse. d [/QUOTE]
