brothers and sisters; where did you get indoctrinated? public (government) schools? haven't you learned by now that 'government' is nothing more than a gang (shysters) of men and women who point guns at us to force us to pay them to point guns at us?
Haven't you been taught that a "pension" is nothing more than a PONZI scheme?
what caused any of you to believe that if you (employer) contributes in your name $1000/month to a casino for 30 years you'll get $3k or $4k or $5k a month till the day you die?
ALL OF US HAVE BEEN SOLD A LIE
why did not the "brotherhood" require that $200 or $500 or $1000 a month be paid directly to the worker? allow the worker to manage for his own retirement? is the worker too stupid to manage his own affairs? is the worker any worse than FUND managers?
Just who was it that convinced the worker to accept a lie?
WAS THE WORKER SEEKING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING? <- I say YES
and now we have a 2019 time frame shoved up our asses to make a change.
if it ain't in your pocket IT AIN'T YOURS.
negotiate a direct weekly or monthly pension paid directly into the workers pocket OR stfu,
the ONLY people surviving on a pension were born before 1955, the Ponzi scheme has run out.
Well so far the PONZI SCHEME has poid me over $404,834.76 since end of July 2006.
just like the healthcare scam, I would be MUCH better if the company paid to me $500/month than to pay to BCBS $1200/month; I'd have $6k/year to play with, and if I get cancer good for me, i'll take that $60k I saved for 10 years and have a ball instead of buying some doctor (ever heard of a doctored document? doctored people aren't any different) a new Mercedes.
wake up people, stop negotiating for something you'll probably never get and definitely never fund.
I'm sure to hear the crybabies that claim they worked hard and earned "their" pension; to that I say - if you really worked hard at it you would have learned what factually a pension is and would have rejected the BS
ps a pension is also a method used to keep people working for the same butt-hole, when, if they could they would take their pension and find a better boss, but instead they stay with the butt-hole because the pension anchors them... imagine that - the UNION has found methods to keep people locked in...
