[QUOTE="nhguy, post: 227943, member: 5248"] 705RED You sound like Ron Carey in disguise!!! That kind of talk and thinking is way in the past. It's quite clear to me that the company is only trying to protect it's employees. Our drivers work hard for their money and they deserve to have a good pension when they retire. It's not UPS'S fault that for every ten people drawing out of the fund, only 5 are putting into it. (My numbers are not factual only an example, but it's the same situation as social security will be in down the road) You die hard teamster supporters are always knocking the companys management because they get stock, matching 401k contributions, dividends, pensions, and retiree medical benefits. You need to show some trust in the company that writes your check every week. UPS doesn't have a mindset that it is their ultimate goal to screw every employee they have working for them. If the company acted like the teamsters we would all be out of work in a year. The teamsters are in no position in this contract to demand anything. All of the pension funds are losing ground and it's not because UPS is trying to screw anybody. If you really think about it, maybe the powers to be had seen this coming back in 1997 and at that time tried to prevent this situation from coming to a head as it has 10 years later.
