Pension deductions?

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Keep in mind that the company held up their end of the bargain.

Yes and no. True they did pay the contractual amount of money that they were supposed to.

At the same time they have a member on the pension board, so they know what kind of trouble we are in. And it didn't happen overnight.

That would be a good start; however, my local serves many employers throughout a large geographical area.

Same with my local. Ours would be prime to merge. Maybe even with either Nyc (my choice) or buffalo local

804 has their own issues.

Buffalo would be a better fit.

Only thing is all votes would need to be online ballots

Do you really think the locals would merge?

Not a chance.

That is the only way they can increase the members money coming in for the payouts. My local has 9500 paying in. For 14k pensions

Ups planned a head. Remember they increased the regions about 7-8 yrs ago.? My center is northern Nj. Albany 20 miles away is upstate Ny. The teamsters need to change. Each state really only needs 1 to 2 locals in it.

Do you think they would give up that easy money job?

And if you had only one or two locals, nobody would attend a meeting.

Maybe keep the locals and make a statewide pension fund??

But in our case. Not nearly enough.

I don't know your pension specifically but more often it's a case of the Union over promising. Not ups under delivering.

What makes me mad is that the company has a seat on the pension board and does nothing to address it.

Obviously just there for the board money

How do you know that? They may have and bwen shut down. We really don't know.

It just disgusts me.

Too long of a story.

Yeah I know we are all union brothers or whatever but ups shouldn't be paying 4 companies pensions.

Look at the Central States...nuff said.

 

[Ms.PacMan]

Latest I heard was 20% for actives, 35% for retirees and 50% for orphans.

What's the value of the pension that you'll get a percentage of?

The only exception may be if the OP is in the Western Conference and is paying in to either the Peer 80 or 85. I believe Soberups said that the members do contribute toward their pension if they opt to participate in the Peer option.

Not true.

UPS pays for pension and peer 80.

Perhaps you should do some research before responding as you are not even close to the root of the problem.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Not true.

Yes but I thought Sober said that the members contribute a portion of their checks for this accelerated pension plan.
