[QUOTE="Cezanne, post: 155052, member: 5104"] What could be happening is that people are getting wiser to the core issues that will effect our future employment and retirement. Have to admit that the scale has far been leaning toward the management side with the matter of perks and benefits, with their accessing MIP stock rewards, matching 401K and healthy retirement trusts. The long term union workers are just starting to ask questions with the pension crisis to what happened to our monetary contributions that were mishandled and not paid, excused way with the appropriate "SORRY, IT WAS A PERFECT STORM". Not an answer and we are getting sick of excuses. With UPS employees in particular the option for a 25 year early retirement is needed, our bodies were pretty well busted up in our younger years and aging is not helping the decline. Most companies even with white collar workers have a early retirement clause, generally with 30 years service and age 55. The prospect of 40 plus year service and 60 plus years of age to collect retirement with the work and schedules that we are required to do is will not work. Most of us will be broke by them and sent to permanent disability land. In my region most all the management who reach the retirement requirement leave without even thinking about hanging on, that in itself should show the nature of our health concerns with prolonging the carrot on the end of the stick. And most of those managers haven't lifted a box over the last ten years, let alone jumping in and out of package car. [/QUOTE]
