[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5186779, member: 49065"] For the most part We are only talking about those members under the Central and Southern who have vested time under the UPS Pension plan. Those areas where the part timers are monetarily contributing to the full timers would still be intact and growing, like the Western. These kids do not care about a pension, they do not want to make a career at UPS, these part time positions were set up as gap jobs while going to school or between jobs. If you offer a portable 401k at the beginning most of them will jump on it, defined pension plans are dying now, most of the Companies are getting rid of them. The Union would not care as long as they leave the full timers pension alone and be able to collect those monetary contributions in both the pension and the health and welfare plans. The ultimate goal now is to create long term (full time) positions to fund those plans, the days of the long term part time union members are gone now. [/QUOTE]
