[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5672584, member: 49065"] I get what you are saying, the problem is that we have negotiated retirement plans that pay considerable less that others for the same number of years service and age requirements. It is not a level playing field. I recently retired and have savings in a 401K, started that as a full timer back in the early nineties. Before that as a part timer I was in the (defunct) Thrift Plan, I do not have my house paid off yet but I can do it tomorrow if I wanted to. My pension is considerably lower than most of our retirees with the same amount of service...11 part time 35 full time...I been fighting that for years, every year went down to the Hall and put in my proposals... :felloforit1: The advantage I have is that I am almost 69 years of age and was eligible to collect full social security when I turned 66 and still work. I was eligible for Medicare when I turned 65 and therefore didn't have to deal with the Team Care's retirees Health and Welfare benefits, paying about the same amount for Medicare B and supplemental insurance. I stated this before and everybody is probably sick of it....[B]a lot of our members have been left behind before O'Brien got into office...[COLOR=#b8312f](Those part timers under the UPS Pension Plan that are eligible for retirement now and in the future got absolutely nothing with this TA or the Central Supplement...)[/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
