Because as a guy who dedicated 25 years of service to the Teamsters and organized labor, it pains me a great deal to admit that unions are slowly dying.
100% Agree. Been a member of the Teamsters for 17 yrs. I'm only 42, so I have 13 years too go. If they still have 25 at 55. In Philadelphia we are dying a slow death.
I took my 25 when I was 47. I chose to freeze my pension because at the time I only would have gotten about 3/4s. I just turned 55 last month. If you do all of your homework first you'll be fine.
I was a member of Local 813 for 25 years, a steward for 10 and a business agent for the last 7. I took early retirement in 2006. If you need to be steered in the right direction just let me know
