813 for 25 years.

Drove funeral vehicles for the first eight, dispatched and made steward for ten, business agent for the last seven. Early retirement nine years ago due to a "health issue" that's now behind me, thank God. I was able to freeze my pension, so I was able to come out full by waiting. It was either 3/4's at 55 (which I just turned), or full at 62. I'm still on the fence about that part. But nothings's pressing, so I still have time on that part.

Just as well. Even with the trusteeship supposedly ending, Hoffa's babysitters will still make it a thankless job (not for the rank and file drivers of course, you know what I mean ).
