Probably about the same that Fed-x gets, maybe a little better. Fed-x employees
have similar pay and benefits to UPS and they aren't union. They are generally
paid a little less than UPS employees but usually make up the difference in
year end bonuses.

not contribute adequately to their employees pension fund.

There is a good chance that mine may be cut next year. I have a teamster
pension. So far, UPS has been responsible for paying it but next year the
teamster take control.They are severely underfunded because they've taken the
money UPS contributed for it's employees and paid pensions for retirees of
other companies that didn't contribute as much leaving them underfunded. Now
they say they will have to make *tuff* choices, cutting pensions from as much
as $3,ooo a month or more to $700. They say they won't cut pensions of
someone over 80 or of someone disabled. I was forced into retirement due to
disability and currently on SS disability. However, I don't trust them.

Pensions were never meant to keep paying the salary you received when
working. They were made to make your retirement more comfortable than just
having Social Security. Same was true in selling the idea of 401Ks and we
know how well that worked out. Unless you are a money hound and at least an
amateur stockbroker these often don't work out well at all.
I've read some posts on a board from folks getting these pensions and
admitting that though they're nice to get weren't really all that necessary.

Not so sure the cities *offer* these unsustainable pensions as much as the
unions demand them. Cities are stuck kicking the can down the road for some
other mayor to fix.

City problems are due to really incompetent people running them be they
Republican or Democrat. They've done stupid things like offer unsustainable
pension plans to attract new employees. I still think those were sold to
them because Wall Street wanted to gamble with that money. We've allowed
these people to run things because the public is generally apathetic and a
lot of city elections are confusing and corrupt.

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing
over and over again and expecting different results.'
It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats....... Yet they are still POOR.
- You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
- You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
- You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
- You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
- You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
- You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative
and independence.
- You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and
should do for themselves.
