[QUOTE="an anonymous guest, post: 156753"] Eventually there will be one pension plan for management and whatever the unions negotiate for themselves, but they won't look anything like the old defined benefit plans, and the retirement age has to go up, just based on actuarials, for management. I see basic 25-30 yrs and out for drivers and other union employees. Who knows, the pilots will probably want golden parachutes more expensive than anybody's pension. My big concern is increasing health costs for everyone, and what happens to the US economy if somethings like Social Secuirity and Medicare are not maintained and financed. THese are competitive issues also, because a new startup, like RPS, can low ball their employees on compnsation, benefits, and retirement, and gain a cost advantage on UPS, where such things are the largest fixed cost. Everybody at UPS simply must do their jobs better and more productively than our competitors. The means everybody, from Mike in Atlanta, to the IT guys, to the drivers, sorters, and porters. Go UPS!
