seems like being a teamster encourages someone to stay in the same place and never try anything new. The guaranteed pension seems to be becoming a bit of a mirage, and I'm starting to feel better about the idea that I'm not putting all my eggs in that basket. Imagine working at the same place for 20-40 years, then after you retire, your pension falls apart because the company went tits up. That's gotta have an effect on somebody.
