Please provide more legitmate info on your claim with hoffa / gov't
I don't know if you would call this legitimate info, but did you hear of the recent law that went into effect, "The pension reform legislation".
Now Mr. Hoffa left a recorded message on my job steward's voice mail telling him to spread the word for us to contact our senators in opposition to this new law. This law allows a pension manager, at any time, to cut retirement credit years up to 50% one time for each individual. So if you belive in Mr. Hoffa and the IBT with all your heart, then you wouldn't think they would exercise this option because they told us they were against this law, right? This is the same organization that negotiated a contract (in writing, I have a copy of it) *30 years and out, any age, $3000 per month*.
So the govt. gave the IBT (with Mr. Hoffa being the IBT president) more power to control
our money,
our retirement and
our lives.
Now keep working little bees. The IBT will let you know when it's time to go home and rest your little wings, just about the time your ready to die.
