Many of us will see our monthly Teamster Pension Payouts cut by 10% to as much as 60% depending on which Industry you retired from. Try this,$3600.00 to $1200.00 per month with thirty years of service. And you tell me this isn't going to kill local economies. We are one of the lucky ones,our payouts are okay cause we are older than dirt. Thousands of guys and gals took early outs due to health reasons and have as much as fifteen years to qualify for Social Security. This is the most egregious piece of legalized theft to hid the worker class ever.
