Strike in August, what say you?

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

never gave me notice

Don't know what to tell you.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

I’m not the one who is nowhere near being financially prepared for retirement.

In with ya on that one

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

In with ya on that one

That would be stupid.

never gave me notice

Yet somehow you noticed?

That depends on the cards we are dealt. Most never get to totally retire anymore. Plus I never expected to fully retire. I'd go nuts not working. So I'm good with it.
I'm just soooooooo glad not to be a little yes man.

I’m tired of trying to get some of these guys to start a 401k. I’m going to laugh at them when I leave this place and they have to work until they are 70.

Well If we get everyone to work until they are 70, that could solve the central states pension problem. Silver lining?

I’m betting it wouldn’t help it.

Ya when money gets deducted from my paycheck I take notice. They're supposed to give notice before that though so I could opt out.

Unless you go into feeders. A 70 yr old body can't do it anymore.

Everyone is living in fantasy land. That pension isn't going to last.

Ha funny. The raise before the last the union took 35 cents of the raise. We all found out the day we got the first ck. All the notice they gave

Its been explained to me before that any form of investment, retirement or otherwise, is a gamble in and of itself. You win some, you lose some

How much was it, like $50? Have you opted out since?

I also plan to work in retirement teaching drivers ed in Albany.

I was surprised to learn yesterday that our first retirement is actually delayed for a month and that we get two checks the second month.

If there are very few winners, it’s a scam.

The fund is paying out way more than what's coming in. Nobody wants to make any cuts. It's been swept under the carpet for too long.

We all voted on the split raise diversion.

Too little done, too late now. No way to save it, we can only prolong its demise.

Yes. I have heard this also. The first ck is UPS' d to us. Then they are direct deposited after. The last I delivered one to a recent retiree. 5 yrs ago

Remember I voted no
