Even though I'm only getting a 25% match on my money it is 25%. Anyone know of a place were you can invest your money and have a gaurentee of a 25% return on investment. Come on, think about it.....and yes, I'm hopefull that the 50% will come back this year. I bank on my own 401K long before I count on any type of pension program!!!! If you invest fully into your 401K as soon as you are elgible and don't play around with it (like taking out a loan) you will be far better off then any pension program FedEx or the Teamsters could ever offer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659871782252984937.post-67459445208154056692010-01-03T19:17:40.776-08:002010-01-03T19:17:40.776-08:00this website is for all to communicate the importa...this website is for all to communicate the importance of organizingirudedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14331843617243336819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659871782252984937.post-19129649468544516682010-01-03T12:29:00.251-08:002010-01-03T12:29:00.251-08:00We need a bulletin board where we can talk to each...We need a bulletin board where we can talk to each other about organizing this company!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659871782252984937.post-11767074357851929252009-12-31T22:59:09.221-08:002009-12-31T22:59:09.221-08:00401k is yesterday's news and useless as a reli...401k is yesterday's news and useless as a reliable income.

It's your only hope to make it happen or then again you can continue to make those Turns for free and THANKS, Happy New Year too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659871782252984937.post-65543607776026411452009-12-30T09:30:35.466-08:002009-12-30T09:30:35.466-08:00Mr. Shively's situation,unfortunately,is not u...Mr. Shively's situation,unfortunately,is not unique.Remember the old saying,"The rich get richer and the poor get...."?It's true.Every injustice you experience that takes away income and/or benefits from you enhances(Fred Smith-to name just one)some fat cats bottom line or wallet.<br />Personally,I've been voicing my opinion about the mediocre performance/selections available in the 401k plan for years.Another old saying:"Security is guaranteed poverty."That's true.If you count on your 401k to support you in retirement you will be rudely awakened when you retire.<br />Like Mr. Shively you will have to get something to,"augment",your retirement.Put another way,you will not have enough retirement income to survive on.<br />The solution? A teamster's contract.It will insure that income/benefits cannot be arbitrarily,"adjusted",or removed at will(hate to pick on him but Fred Smith practices these quite well).<br />Retirement income will be 5or 6 times what Fedex will provide.Merely attend a meeting conducted by the Teamsters to verify this. <br />The rest is up to you><br />Frank Zunt<br />FTA/Retired<br />& Identifiedfrankiezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00620204961984681113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659871782252984937.post-70691012512829319442009-12-29T22:50:09.664-08:002009-12-29T22:50:09.664-08:00Leave it to the rightwing republicans to come up w...Leave it to the rightwing republicans to come up with such a shitty deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
