[QUOTE="959Nanook, post: 322602, member: 14462"] I don't understand your logic about it NOT being a Teamster Pension. I'm assuming you are a Teamster employed full-time (i.e. not a part-timer) by UPS. In my mind, it is similar to Social Security for the sake of this argument. UPS contributes to the Social Security Administration on your behalf; however, UPS does not manage that money. The Teamsters negotiated that contribution from UPS and anyone in the Teamster Pension is a benefactor of that negotiation (i.e. employers are contributing what would otherwise have to be contributed by Teamsters). If you are enrolled in a Teamster Pension plan, not only will the Teamsters try but they will succeed in mandating restrictions on your employment while you are drawing your pension. It is very simple, they stop cutting your check. You are more than welcome to use your CDL when you retire; however, I would determine the ramifications of that decision (it may or may not mean forgoing your pension while employed as a driver). This was raised last night at our monthly local meeting because the retirees felt that the rules are too restrictive in our local and some rulings on what was deemed to be unacceptable employment had seemed arbitrary.
