[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4580017, member: 24302"] Fiscally viable is one thing, more profitable is a whole other animal. I've never asked for UPS pay and benefits but if I work a long time with them telling me every year that this is what I'll get then they should have kept their word. This is what should have been done: they should have announced the traditional pension has come to an end. Newhires are already under the new plan and the rest of you if you have at least 5 years on the traditional plan will go on the new plan as soon as you reach 25 qualified years towards the traditional plan unless you decide to switch to the new plan now. If you have 22 years for example and decide to stay with the traditional you will go on the new plan as soon as you work three more years of at least 1000 hours a year. This would have been fair. But no, they lied to us about having a choice plus this was in the works for awhile so sending us glossy brochures telling us what we'd get on the traditional if we stay while planning to force us off the traditional was B.S. They were already reaming us on raises so the least they could have done is gI've us a full pension if we stuck with them. And in no time during that period did I hear the company was in danger of going out of business. The company wanted to build Ground infrastructure as quickly as possible and lied their heads off about better pay coming soon and how quickly we'd top out. You called me the world's biggest sucker in another thread. I'd rather be that than to be a part of a group that cheated people out of their most productive years with constant lies. [/QUOTE]
