The union asked me to cut 45% of my pension after 40 years of driving a truck. I thought I would have a good pension to live on, but they stopped putting new explorers in. They have also talked members into voting out of it, and going in to annuities. Where does that leave us? It leaves us with bills that we cannot pay and buy our medicine. The fund will go broke any way even with cuts, so why should we suffer twice? Something should be done. If banks can be bailed out then our pensions can be saved too.
