In my opinion,none of you UPS Freight workers should fall into the depth of despair over this development.
After reading the links posted on this topic,they are targeting non-union workers,which I would think would be supervision.
Small pack & Freight union workers would not be effected.
What makes me nervous is the timing of this. We are heading into negotiations in a few months and one of the first things there going to attack is the pension plans. They are then going to use the fact that they are freezing the non-union plans starting in 5 years and they are going to plant the seed to get rid of our pension plans, or do as Boeing did and make it that all new employees are in the 401k with a match. Thats what scares me.
What ever it takes to keep our pension!It's a false flag first proposal will be something like no pay raises keep contractors work more hours, second will be small pay raise much more contractors but you loose your pension. Start saving $50 a week now and by July you'll have $2500 to strike with that should last you 3 weeks. Chances are the strike would be less than 2 weeks.
So Pension is your main concern right? Most of you senior guys are depending on the Pension correct? It’s up to the New and Young employees to keep the Pension correct? Were the Senior guys concerned about the younger guys or new employees when CONTRACTORS come into our barns and take our work? I can answer that and the answer is no. As long as the senior guys have runs they can care less what happens to the young or new employees that’s why we are in this situation right now. So miss me with that Young and New Employees stuff. Ask your senior guy friends for help with the Pension BROTHER.I sure hope that all of our employees keep a close eye on what the company wants for concessions regarding our pension. In my opinion there was a reason that the company went public with their pension freeze for non union employees at the same time we started our contract negotiations. My hope is that all employees especially the new and young employees will not allow any changes to our pension except more company cost of living contributions to our plan. Any negative talk about our pension should not be tolerated. Fight to keep what you have earned. More and more companies are taking away their company paid pensions. Don't let this happen. Our pension is what separates us from all the other freight companies. Do you want to work forever? Especially for UPS a company known to overwork their employees. Make sure that your local union hall knows that your Pension is priority!
Actually its not. You see I have already done my time and am eligible for my full pension. Sorry your so miserable and want to blame employees that have done nothing but time. If you don't want to protect your future, UPS will take it.......enjoy!So Pension is your main concern right? Most of you senior guys are depending on the Pension correct?

Another thing you must’ve been very careless with your Money old timer cause if you was you wouldn’t be on here crying about saving the Pension and asking the young to help save it. Maybe in another life time you’ll be more manageable with your financials. Lol ENJOY.Actually its not. You see I have already done my time and am eligible for my full pension.
