To the UNION
We need your influence more than ever before. Automation is the craft killer and it has all but killed ours. We are headed down a slippery slope of no return. FERS retirement is a joke. How can we expect to live on that? The tools to point that out are just now becoming available just to find that we had better be good at investing in something else than TSP or we’ll be in the poor house at retirement, and to find out that our bodies will only last 15 years performing the kind of work we do. Look around at all the rotator cuffs and knee operations having menisci removed. We can plan if you give us the tools, but you haven’t and I know you have the data at your disposal. Where were you?
