How many non-union electricians have a pension, other than 401K?

brian john

My non-union employees do. We set up a profit sharing program 20 years ago covers us (owners) and them.

Like Brian, we set up a deferred profit sharing program a little over 20 years ago, where the contributions where invested on the employees behalf. They had the opportunity to withdraw any money formt he plan, but where advised against it.
Over the years, the plan changed, and for the last 10 years we had a direct payout Profit sharing plan, where the guys were responsible for their money themselves.

Last year we also started an R.R.S.P matching contribution plan.

MAN, these union guys think they have better everything. a pension is a 401k. i have 401k=6%:3%, profit sharing, job bonuses for foremen, journeyman are given brand new tools after the test, most take theirs home and leave em.

UH UH UH UH i gotta pension plan, yipeee

paul d.

sparky, theres a difference between a defined GURANTEED pension plan and a 401k.

Sparky JUST ONCE, ok JUST ONCE lets see where a thread in this topic heading goes, without trashing the other side.

The poster posed a legit question, and the question is something that defines one of the differences between open shops and union shops. He may or may not know the answer. But I do not see any malice in his question.

you sure one to talk:

How about NO MORE UNION TOPICS in this section, IF YOU ARE SO GD STUPID YOU CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHERE THE UNION SECTION IS, YOU SHOULD BE BANNED.

(this is you hot head)

Keep the GD UNION SH*T in the GD UNION SECTION YOU GD DOLTS.

And it has been my goal to quit swearing this year but this constant crap has pushed my buttons.

If Nathan see fit to keep the Union section open (against my wishes) so be it, me I think it soils the site. Being union has NOTHING to do with being an electrician and NOT one discussion in that section has benefited anyone.

Don't show you freaking inability to underrstand a post. MY RANT was about the VERY THING you in your supreme stupidity continually drag in. You are no better that a union poster degrading open shop men. So I lower my self to you level and tell you.

GET REAL.
