Is UPS crying Poor (underfunded non-union retirement) for more major takeaways?

Good talk.
I hope everyone feels better.

A strike now would last a day at UPS. So much crying about Amazon. They won't risk it. I got a better idea, give us what we are owed.

Let me get this straight-----we are the highest paid in the industry with an excellent benefit package for a job that requires only a valid drivers license----what exactly do you feel the company "owes" you?

No less.

Wherever I see Trump, it smells like he's Putin.
It's corporate who agrees to compensate pt'ers at the rate they do. They're free to offer the sky if they wish. And, now that they've begun to strangle the mgmt pension fund, and
on their brethren, it would free up the cash for just such an event. If only they truly cared. Greedy, greedy UPS.

Do you truly think that they are gutting the mgt pension plan just to take care of a disposable labor force? You are truly delusional.
It owes me financially of what is expected of me. No less.

Have you ever had a paycheck bounce or had a medical claim denied due to lack of funds?
The Company has always held up their end of the bargain and does not "owe" you anything.
Just because you're retiring soon and for the past 30 years chose to open your bum to management to freely pound out whatever is left of that scrawny butt, doesn't mean we have to accept what you are willing to take. And sometimes cash isn't the answer. Highest paid? Maybe. Easiest job? HELL TO THE NO!!

a huge corrupt corporation (IBT), watch-dogging a huge corrupt corporation. Sounds like a recipe for success!
Actually I think they do. And 300,000 people (minus you) feel the same. How long do you think it would take UPS to hire and train that many employees? Much easier to give me what is owed.

Tell you what---take the day off, drive up to the casino in Lincoln, ask if they have any openings and, if they do, ask them if they would be willing to offer a similar wage and benefit package.
I'll save you a trip---you would still hear them laughing as you get in your car and drive back to Warwick.
Yes, we work hard, but we are well compensated and are owed nothing.

Funny you said that. That casino has had teamster jobs for years. Wanna try again? Like I said, don't get mad at me because you're willing to accept anything.

The casino has been there for less than 5 years.

Those of us who plan accordingly put their raises in to their 401k's.

Hey bubbles
I feel better now brother.
Where are you getting your info? It's been there for decades. Gaming tables have been there less than 5 years. The name changed from Lincoln park to Twin River Casino. And although the pay is not what drivers make, it dwarfs UPS's 22.3 scale and pays a way better part time wage. Keep trying!
You mean your IBT negotiated wage? What do you think UPS would give you? Ya know, since they are so kind and thoughtful to their employees.
