It worked out, our fellow brothers and sisters out west happily made up the difference! 😉
I'm just saying. You don't put all your egg in one basket and then blame others when it gets knocked over. :)

Concentrating on one craft is short sighted laziness.

WCTP was established 1955. I wonder how they survived deregulation. ;)

“Trucking deregulation didn't hit the Western Conference the same way because it had a more diverse employer base”


Pretty good article detailing.

The Central didn't make any mistakes. Deregulation of the trucking industry took care of that.
Deregulation didn't just affect Central States. There is trucking in other locals as well. My pension fund didn't need a bailout.
My local is increasing retiree pensions next year.

He did, we already went over it. Talk to the people who set Central states up in the 50s not us lol. Was heavily in the trucking industry. Not a lot of other things clearly that changed over the years, but the damage was done many years before that.
So perhaps Central should have diversified. Sounds like they did actually make "mistakes" but it doesn't affect me.

If might if other Teamsters start eyeballing your pension left and right and decide, "you have enough, we are giving your negotiated pension contributions to another pension fund".
