16 years so far. Keeping my fingers crossed!
(Don't forget that money I contributed when I was 21 is still in that fund earning money).Is labour unions still a good investment for the working class?

Don't worry to much old timer, you're getting you're money's worth
That union saved you enough money to give you 600000$ in the last 16 years lol
What a bunch of useless unions lol

I think you're right. I'm not sure how much the Union contributed!
My employer puts arround 7000 a year into my pension. I'm at arround 140 000 contributed in 16 years overall
I keep this up till 65 I'll be getting 6000$ a month
Bunch of bad unions.
I feel especially bad for my wife as I'll likely be dead and never will enjoy any of it.
I give it to her happily for loving me and giving me 3 lovely children. And putting up with my manliness

We were contributing 5% of our gross pay to the Pension fund and I think the employer was matching it dollar for dollar. When I first started working I contributed less than $200 a year, by the time I retired I was probably contributing over $2000 a year. So I'm doing pretty good, even if I was to kick the bucket next week, my wife will carry on receiving a portion.

Did you get a drop off to 60% of pension at 10 or 5 years?
Look to the Maquilladora Free Trade Zones in Mexico, where labour organizing is brutally and muderously suppressed.. as to where we would go without unions. 18 hour days, subsistence wages, child labour, dangerous and unhealthy working conditions, zero security, pensions or benefits.. the hiring of only young women (who are much more pliable than young men), who are immediately fired when they get pregnant. Look at the teeming slums around these zones to see what it will do to society as a whole.
Business is utterly AMORAL and exploitive in dealing with employees if not constrained by the law and organized labour. Free Trade is the reason that the Union movement is in decline.. as companies move their operations to areas where there are no unions.. freed now from having to support their consumer markets with their payrolls.
