And they will be. Remember it was RPS in 97.
Well things have changed a lot in the last 25 years
The internet has changed shipping forever and no way to absorb all the volume that we deliver if we went on strike.
Hell FedEx ground is working 7 days a week right now and they still can't keep up

UPS wanted put every upser in a ups pension. Not just central states.

But they did buy out CS down the road and they(CS)blew that.

There are 16 different pensions. Maybe 17 I can't remember exactly

I just wonder how my CS pension would be if UPS would've taken it over back then. Right now it's getting a bailout which I don't hold my breath to.

You wouldn't have one. Just like the supervisors. Not that hard to figure out.

Ok and how many are doing as good as the Teamster/UPS pension fund? Right now pensions are covered by UPS where I'm at, but when we hit 65 half are to be paid by CS.

Why wouldn't I have one? I'd barely have one now at 65 if it wasn't for the bailout. I'm just curious had they taken over in 97 how I'd be sitting now.

Well off the top of my head, the WCTP(11 states), Washington DC, NJ 177 and I believe Wisconsin are all doing better than the UPS pension.

In my opinion, the teamsters care about our pension because we help fund all the rest. Take that away.... and why would they care. We'd be just another company that lost a pension for a raise or lower healthcare..

Well where I'm at(CS)it's not doing so good if not for the bailout. Take a look and get back to me. You should know all about the Central States pension plan. If you're not in it you're lucky.

I think you're missing the point my friend, just look what has happened to CS even after UPS bought it out.

Before the bailout if I retired now where I am, my pension is paid by UPS. Now when I hit 65 half of that amount comes from CS, now if not for the bailout that half would not be paid to me(money's gone), so what would I do? I just thought had they(UPS)taken it over back then would I be better off? Do I know for sure? NO, but couldn't be any worse than I am now right?

No brother, I think you're missing the point. This conversation started off about UPS taking over the pension for all upsers. I've shown you that, that would not be better for all UPS teamsters. I'm sorry your pension is in trouble but I can say that if UPS took over all UPSers pension we would all be screwed. So... lesser of two evils.

I feel for you, I really do. I supported the Butch Lewis act because I want to help everyone with a failing pension.
