[QUOTE="Fullhouse, post: 206265, member: 9653"] Just a question. If UPS ends up with the pension, how will this effect UPS teamsters whom serve as full time employees of there respective union? OK, you have a local President that used to work as a hourly employee at UPS. His/hers pensions benefits have been paid by the local to Central States. Now, lets' say that UPS has the pension.As you all know, UPS does not pay weekly benefits on part timers. So its safe to say that this will not happen to full timers under a UPS pension. Several years ago we had a UPS part timer that was Sec-Treasurer at our Local. When that Exec Board lost re-election he went back to his part time position at UPS. Unknown to him all the time working at the local was lost toward his retirement. After a lot of communication between the Local and UPS the part timer lost out. UPSs' claim was we cannot accept payment from the local for his years service to the union based on the reason that, UPS does not pay money on behalf of the part timers to the UPS pension plan, as we pay Central States for full timers. So there was no monetary amount that could be figured. So the question I ask is? How will this pan out for UPS full timers whom become elected and work full time within their respective union.? Will those people still be in CS and continue to build time toward their retirement, or will UPS set a weekly amount that the local can pay, and then the person will become a part of the UPS pension plan?
