The New Contract And Future Pension Contributions: Are We Ok. Or Are We Robbing Peter To Pay Paul?

He’s right you bastard! You should still be working! Blood sucker, draining that pension fund.

No one tell @Pension Master what age @rod retired. He'd have a ing aneurysm! Lol

 

[Trucker Clock]

We get $5,200

At age 62 with 40 years FT? I call BS.

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

I am waiting for a response, from someone in the West, what their pension would be after 35 years over 55 years old.

We have a 29-year guy who's 65 and he's at $5,100 a month. So, yeah, basically $8k a month.

Look who’s talking. Well maybe I shouldn’t bring up the accrual amount if you work past 60 with 35+ years of service. That’ll really get him fired up.

You need a quarter to make that call. I know how unfair long distance rates are these days.

I know what age he retired at. And, no offense, but he is one of the reasons the pension funds are in trouble. How can you guarantee a pension to a 50 year old for the next 40 years when they only worked for 30?

More power to him, but that is not what a pension is for and why they all crashed.

You ers still have payphones out there?

29. What would that be if he had 35?

He doesn’t even have 30 years and gets $5100?

Holy .

Your trustees allowed it. Oh but wait that doesn't match your narrative so we can't blame them it's not their fault...

I doubt that’s why pensions are in trouble.

 

[Trucker Clock]

You're trustees allowed it. Oh but wait that doesn't match your narrative so we can't blame them it's not their fault...

Yes they did. For 2 years, I think. And they only allowed it to get people to vote on the contract, you know, the one that UPS wanted to take over the pension?

I never said it was @rod fault. But 30 and out at $3k still sucked.

 

[UnionStrong]

When they retire in the west they get a new Cadillac with a satellite phone, and 8 k a month.

My point is that no one should be able to retire at 50 without taking a huge hit.

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

29. What would that be if he had 35?

He doesn’t even have 30 years and gets $5100?

Holy .

Probably around $5,800 if he had 35.

 

[542thruNthru]

Yeah you don't?

You're such a generous guy. You wanna take away my no cap retiree healthcare also? I mean it's not fair...

That was over two decades ago

 

[Johney]

Yeah you don't?

Nope.

 

[Trucker Clock]

Jesus now it's age 56!

I say 56 because you cannot drive until age 21. A pension after 35 years puts you at 56.

I don’t know how the Central has a pension after 35 years. You would have had to start collecting your years of service for a FT pension at age 20.

How is this possible?

So I said age 56, a realistic age.

 

[542thruNthru]

Nope.

I still have one on my route actually lol
