Anything would have helped a little . It's like saying my mortgage is a $1000 a month and I only have $500 to pay on it. .. so crew it,i won't pay anything.
They couldn't legally do it until the omnibus passed in the wee hours of the night on December 30th 2014. They maybe could have cut the pensions of the members buy how would you get them to vote to decrease their own pension fund? I think if Jesus came down and told the members to cut their own pensions they wouldn't do it.
I understand . Si now they are just going to ignore it and having nothing for the future?
I've had the pleasure of talking to a poop ton of retirees and they want the fund to stay like it is. They want it to run out of money and the majority don't care about the guy down the road. It's sad and it's the truth.
I guess the good old days of worrying about the future generations are gone ?
Yes I think they are. There are no easy ways out of this and legally the fund wansnt allowed to be cut till 12/30/14 and we saw how that worked out. I guess this leaves the active participants and I'm doubting you can't get a majority of them to agree to reduce it now that it's legal as of 12/30/14. Just imagine being the guy proposing to reduce the memberships pension. I can tell you this I'd be physically scared to propose to reduce a mans money. Men get real touchy about their money.
No choices here.
I know but this cutting pension payments wasn't legal till 12/30/14.
Now it's too late. Work your whole life for nothing
Jack up that 401k and work a little longer. Instead of leaving a bunch of cash to your loved ones someday make sure you survive. This has always been the Republicans wish for the union man. They cut our jugular any chance they gets and bleed us out slow. Then they convince guys like @brett636 that they are a republican that like unions.
Nope you raised good kids lived a moral life and are a good husband. You eat well drink well and live a life that is a good honest one.
Its too late for the. retirees. . I was planning on putting my future raises in the 401k but I won't be getting muck of a raise. I get 18¢ in August
If you scroll back a little I posted an article about the post office. It has their problems lol aged as well as a link to their master contract. We are all an endangered species.
No you know why we voted NO.
I understand more than people here give me credit for. Not saying you sir. I voted yes because I have my o n perspectives. I appreciate the courtesy you have always shown to me.
We list health care and gained nothing else. Less money,less future...very depressing
We have members with the same attitude right now. The ones that will let the plan go belly up and ride the wave until then and the same type of disloyal ones sitting on a strike line that would've slit the union's throat by crossing the line to get another $1000/month if RC had not matched the offer in 97.
That $.18/hr will barely even pay for your family's $400 annual deductible for health and welfare.
