[QUOTE="willybad, post: 1081039, member: 45356"] i did call,and write.the 1st call,i got"we don't have anything to do with your insurance ,that's through u.p.s."then i sent an email expressing my thoughts.that even though this might be a good thing for the pension fund,because people getting ready to retire and draw a pention wouldn't be able to afford it.it might not be good for the union,because the motive to be in the union wasn't only higher wages,but the idea of being able to retire before you were to old to enjoy it.after my email,and a 2nd call,they did tell me they were working on it.if you aren't effected by this increase,then why get on here and demean the problem,because it is definately a problem if you're going to loose 20% of your income on 8/1/13,and then who knows how much each year after this.make sure the union knows how you feel,make sure the guys still working at u.p.s. and voteing on the next contract know about this.to them ,this could mean never being able to retire .if they loose $450/mo ,they could gain that back by working an extra 5 years.if the insurance keeps going up, like u.p.s.lead me to believe it would when i called them,combine that with inflation,they will never be able to retire on the pention.now with this perspective,is there anything else we can do?
