There are UPS'ers on Capital Hill this week pushing for Age 70 legislation. No kidding. I know one by name. I think the majority who have been negatively impacted by the windfall for the over-60's need to band together. They (The gramps crowd) may be well ahead of us in mobilizing politicos, but with Moody and Farley in office, I think we have enough new blood in the union to bring equity back to the contract for anyone under 50.
Ideas anyone?

BRACE, BRACE, BRACE.
Food for thought for carnage mitigation... retirements in '09 =4, '10 =25, '11-'13 = 149. Deliveries '09 = 2, '10 = 6, '11/'12 = 22
One more moveback from the -8's whenever they go to the boneyard and in a mere 6 or 7 years we'll be back to where we were before the Bush Depression / Age 65. Thanks oops-I-crapped-my-pants*. (*Obscure comedic reference for you SNL fans from the 90's)
