This organization is SOLELY and EXCLUSIVELY for the benefit of any hourly employee of UPS. This includes ANY company owned by UPS.

           Part one of the Associations mission is that from this day forward the Association will create a new pension plan which meets or exceeds the pensions we have been promised from our first day of employment. Understanding that the Association has no direct control over assets under the management of Central States and other Teamster controlled funds and that such funds cannot meet their obligations, the Association will use its best efforts to help its members in their dealings with such funds.

We have gone from having health insurance that was second to none to having health insurance that none would have for a second.  There is absolutely no excuse for this as we paid more than enough to have the kind of insurance the world would envy.  Where is the insurance we pay for?

Our pension has been savagely and callously slashed for no reason.  There is no reason that we shouldn't get $7,000 a month.  Please recognize that while our Central States administered pension has been slashed, none of the other funds have been slashed. The real shame of the matter is that the Teamsters never intended to give you a fair pension.  The Teamsters had you satisfied with getting less than 50% of your pension and it seems that even that was not enough; of course that was $3,000 a month when you should have been getting $7,000 a month.  How much is going to be enough?  You have heard from UPS Vice President John McDevitt that you are only getting 40% of the money that is paid in for you.  GOD only asks that you give 10%.
