I can't remember exactly when, but I believe it might been as late as last December that Central States received perhaps as much as half of the money allocated for all the multi-employer pension plans struggling. Can't quite recall the exact numbers from '97, but I think UPS wanted to pay what amounted to $750 million in exit fees to leave it behind then. It ended up being far more years later when they finally did and the cash infusion by that point temporarily boosted it's funds from 54% to maybe as much as 70%, which still is considered way underfunded.
What is the REAL reason negotiations have stalled?

- Start date
Well seeing how it's completely sunk and hit bottom, I'd guess that might be the SS ORION.

Funny that the company hand picks these stories and it wasn’t because of part timers on their own accord explaining how great the wages and working conditions are for part timers. I was a part timer for 16.5 years and had to do everything thing I could to make ends meet for my family. Working double shifts, going out as a driver helper at the drop of a hat, it was a hustle for sure but UPS wasn’t gonna make it easy. There was a time where I was on a very short list in the western region I don’t remember how many states but I haas number 3 on that list for part timers with the most overtime. The company knows who works and how much we work. It’s about time they stop fkcing around and create the full time jobs part timers like me created out of thin air. I was tired of hearing about the bs of them saying they are gonna make more 22.3 jobs. I went driving as a 22.4, promotion to rpcd and I’m now a seniority feeder driver about to hit 20 years with the company. One thing I know about this company they don’t give two fks about how many hours you put in as long as their numbers look good. Working here you have to find the hustle.

The upside to social media. Hilarious comment sections. UPS is detached from reality.

Did you know UPS part-timers are eligible for up to $25,000 in tuition reimbursement from Day 1? Or that a part-time job with UPS includes health coverage? We're telling you what you really need to...www.facebook.com
We should get $1000 bonus just for having to deal with this

The real reason. The stock hasn’t gone down enough for UPS to do their stock buybacks and reposition. Just wait, there is money to be made

2 more degrees and the heat would liquify your muscles, shutdown like 4 different organs. Did you bring a thermometer? lol.
I'm not immune to this work culture which is part of why I did not immediately call an ambulance in my case. But I don't justify it as being a man lol I just like pushing buttons, observing poor behavior through example. Now that new shiny button I get to push the next time I am suffering heat exhaustion with a covid co-factor is the ambulance next go around.
