UPS Pension
Are new hires still covered by the A Plan (Defined benefit)?
The APC website says 1% times FAE, or flat $4,000 dollars per year times years of service, with a max of thirty years counted, with the flat dollar amount going up to $4,200 on 1/1/2021. Is this still true? Also, I am assuming that when it says 1% FAE or $4,000 times years of service that the or is interpreted as meaning whichever is greater, rather than whichever is less. I know the way my company would choose to interpret this phrase.
Also, what is the number of years for FAE?
Thanks,
Joe

Also, don't forget about the 12% defined contribution.

And another bummer, is the Flat dollar goes away after 2023. So if one retires after 2023 it goes back to the 1%. Lost of about 30K per year for a 30 year employee.
But hopefully the Flar Dollar will continue with the next TA. But there are no guarantees.
Thought this was weak. Accounting rules or not for the company. Now we will have to give something to keep the Flat Dollar.

If the next TA doesn't have a retirement section you find acceptable, simply vote 'no'.
Please guard against the reaction that negotiation, even with the Brown 800-lb gorilla, is a zero-sum (or worse!) game. I find it in myself from time to time as well, unfortunately.
