[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 609936, member: 22610"] Luckily for those of us in the Central States fund, our pension plan has been guaranteed by the new UPS-Teamster plan, which provides that if the Central States plan becomes insolvent, then all members who were enrolled as of Jan. 1, 2008 will have their pension shortfall from the Central States plan guaranteed by the new UPS-Teamster plan. So, for the lucky folks who were still active when the new UPS-Teamster plan came into being, our retirement is now guaranteed by UPS. I feel pretty secure that the new plan will be able to pay me for the remainder of my life, when I choose to retire. As for wanting time to do other things, Just Numbers, that's why I take days off every week, anytime I can, to pursue other interests. I have published a couple of books in the last two years, have been active in a community historical preservation project, and have time to do things around the house and spend time with my family. I'm really enjoying my life working, rather than just planning on enjoying my time when I retire. I was just thinking about old Marty who retired last month after 63 years on the job. I wonder if he had people telling him to retire for 33 years, and then stayed around to watch THEM be carried away in a box. I know that this is a huge surprise to so many of you, both management and labor, but there are a few drivers who enjoy their jobs and their lives right now, and don't JUST do this so they can retire someday.
