[QUOTE="kibbles, post: 253661"] You people saying no info is available yet just don't know where to look. Do any of you have union reps? Here's what I know straight from the Unions mouth. The raises are split in 2, .35 cents in August, and .35 cents in FEb. and they don't get much higher then that the entire contract. Our part time pension goes up only $5 a month starting in 2008. The full timers are even getting burned on this one. The 25 and out pension only pays $2000 a month if you are not 57 yrs old. That blows. Their pension was $100 a year more for every year the work. Now their pension like the part-timers maxes out at 35 years. If you started driving at 20 and had 35 years in the company, and were now 55 and ready to retire, you would eithe take a reduced pension, or work 2 more years with now added benefit, or retire and not collect anything until you are 57. That blows. Most of the crappy things we are hearing involve new hires, but the real deal involving the rest of us has not yet been seen. And if it was so spectacular, and they wanted our yes vote so bad, why isn't our great union posting all of these amazing features on the teamster website for all of us to read and be proud of. Because I think we are in trouble. Be sure you all read all of the fine print. [/QUOTE]
