Any retired drivers returning for peak?

[MethodsMan]

I don't know that I would come back to drive but I am thinking about coming back as a helper the first Peak after I retire.

You could be my helper. You better hold your own or I'm kickin your ass to the curb.

Which the teamsters should never have allowed. I think they can work but there may be restrictions on hours worked so it doesn't affect the pension. Maybe a retired driver can chime in and tell us how it works.

No restrictions through December 25.

Our pension limits hours worked in the same industry while collecting a pension to 40. The Union agreed to waive these restrictions for those retirees (who don't have a life) who wish to come back and work during Peak. The last I heard before going on vacation is that we do not have any retirees coming back in our center.

Only one came back and he retired in Oct, why he didn't just work thru peak is crazy IMO. I'd rather have two months added to my pension (approx $40/month extra pension) than a few extra bucks now. To each his own.

Work through Peak and retire after Peak = paycheck each week.
Retire in Oct=pension check AND paycheck for Peak.
Sounds like good math to me, and a smart move!

If you retire in Oct you already have credit for the full year for pension so working 2 more months won't increase your pension.

I retired on Oct 1. I had already worked enough peaks and was finally able to relax and enjoy the holidays.

My projected retirement date is 7/1/2018. While there is no way that I would come back and drive, I would think about coming back as a helper.

We have already lost a couple retired manager/sup guys who thought they wanted to come back.

yeah no drivers but I have heard of multiple sups coming back.

Come back and help for $8.50 an hour? Now I know for sure you're an idiot.

 

[olroadbeech]

it's really sad.

it's called institutionalized.

Our helpers in Local 344 are paid $15 an hour.

Ha Ha, or dropping him off with a set of hand trucks and a pile of packages and never returning to pick him up!!

 

[28down]

This is my last peak and no amount of money will bring me back.

 

[ZQXC]

C'mon, You know you want it. LOL

Upstate is a hard case when he rode the short bus he was a monitor

 

[ViewAskew]

I was under the impression that helpers were at $15 nationwide
