And what would you have received without union representation?

a government bail-out although I'm sure the Teamsters are probably seeking
that. There is adequate funding for our(UPS) pensions if they( the Teamsters)
stop paying or cut the pensions of retirees from companies that did not
contribute adequately to their employees pension fund.

cents of each dollar they - we borrow from PPR China & some tructal states,(
UAR ones) who still trust us to have our great great grand children re pay this
18 or plus trillion in debt SOPT & slow THE Borrowing & or fed guarantees

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.
