Pros

Decent pay ($24.07/hr). Overtime after 8 or 40. Fully company paid health, welfare and pension. Union health and welfare plan provides full range of Dental services with no copay (PPO). I just got a 6 unit bridge. Plan paid $4800.00. My copay.....0. There is a $10.00 copay for Doctor visits. Everything else is fully covered. Eyeglasses covered in full. Once per year. No copay.

Cons

Our union Pension Fund is projected to become insolvent in the year 2025, unless the Government steps in. (They did help to create this situation with Deregulation). The cost of maintaining a failing Pension Plan is born by ABF and is the reason our pay scale is somewhat lower than our non-union brethren.
