SOUNDS LIKE TROUBLEmustache said:Big Meeting Conway. Anybody see what happened to the Conway's? Lost Sick Days, No more Pension after Dec. 31, 06. Pension froze for everybody else, what they would get today if they retired today, is what they will get when they retire, NO MORE MONEY PAID INTO "THERE" PENSION FUND after Dec. 31, 06. This CameFrom Conway.s Board.
This is a misrepresentation of the APWA's pension declarations. Money doesn't grow on trees, thus the $7,000 amount is what a new hire could enjoy with a 30yr and out. Please read their page PENSION DECLARATIONS And keep in mind that these declarations were written specifically for the Brown side members who were previously in a Teamsters plan. As a division of APWA, with your own contract, the people at UPSF could choose to join the pension plan set up by APWA as written on their website, or you could choose to continue the 401K program you are currently in. APWA leadership will not arm twist you folks into joining their pension. The choice is up to you.LOCAL776 said:need to get their head out of the air, not impressed with the sidestep of the apwa. so folks who is going to back the apwa"s pension fund? remember if your one of the guys that is retireing in two years are they still giveing you 7000 for retirement? do a reality check. WHO is really backing them.
I believe a new hire in the teamsters could get 3,700 with a 30year & out. 3,700 won't be worth much 30 years from now. I'm sure you will need atleast 7,000 per month!nospinzone said:This is a misrepresentation of the APWA's pension declarations.

Buster, you ask questions to which, I presume, you already know the answer. Since APWA was formed two years ago, they have no history to which your questions can be addressed. You can't overlook the lack of a track record. Past performance is always the best indicator of future performance. In this situation, you should approach this as if purchasing stock in an IPO. Ask Van and Danny the detailed questions. How are they going to manage the pension? How will health benefits change after retirement? A lot of this stuff is defined on the website, but as you point out, details need to be explained, which will require you to pick up the phone or speak with them at a meeting.BusterNite said:I would like to hear from an APWA member that has a contract and that has been represented by the APWA. What has the APWA done for you. How have they made your life better with wages and health benefits? I would would like to hear from a APWA member that has recently retired. How are your pension benefits and how are your health benefits after retirement? I don't expect to hear from anyone!!!
