There may not be as many bodies coming to the Bus to relieve the staffing issues as the bid reflects.

Yeah, so for the first time in history, UPS is interested in what the IPA wants. HA. What a laugh.
The junior guys are about to take it up the rear here. Mark my words!
Oh yeah, I forgot, it's UPS fault that the senior citizens are being trained.
If the old guys were smart they would retire now with their pensions. Otherwise, the younger guys are going to be so bitter and vote them away in 2012. Too bad the old guys aren't smart though. They are just greedy and prolly in it for the Asian rub and tugs. JMO

It also demonstates a total lack of knowledge of the retirement plans or is intentionally incorrectly representing the plans. I suggest that you contact the retirement committee at the IPA for education and clarification.

Glad somebody said it - that was my first thought when I read his posts.

I wish they would stop taking union dues out of pay ck until we have people with brain and guts representing me.

Most people who go off spouting about not ever having picked up a JA or OT pickup are commuters. I don't understand why you would not do it when you live in ANC.
