So,.....are we really supposed to believe that you are the martyr here???

Lol!!!....too late to play that card.

Had you not come off so completely jerky, and went off on one of your many ridiculous TDU tirades when I first asked a few honest questions, I wouldn't have taken the time to actually look at local 952's LM-2's.
What a train wreck they are and how absolutely silly your defense of them is.

Go ahead and pop off and I'll post them and we can pretend to be "accountants" (or is it "economists") together.

It is absolutely irresponsible to run a local by borrowing money on the equity of it's holdings and your local appears to upside down in debt.

Oh bubbles you know our local owns a lot of properties that are worth so much more than the book value listed on the LM-2. Not to mention you got no dog in that race do you? We all know you got upset when I post about how your girl and Tim lost their locals. You see that is what happen when your TDU nonsense infests a local. Did you not read that even Z said, " TDU has earned a negative reputation around the country for attempting to destroy the Teamsters Union from within. Their anti-union activities over the years are well documented, and are an insult to the hard-working men and women of our Union. TDU calls itself a democratic organization, but the truth is there is nothing democratic about this group. This small splinter group based out of Detroit, Michigan is not interested in what is best for Teamsters. Their only mission is to undermine the Teamsters Union, do what they can to weaken the membership, and help anti-union interests and employers destroy our ability to fight for working families. TDU is not our friend, and we will do whatever we must to fight their plan to destroy our union. This resolution is a first step in Local **’s campaign to stand up for real Teamsters by fighting back against TDU’s anti-Teamster agenda. We cannot allow this group to weaken our union and destroy our ability to improve the quality of life for working men and women. While Local ** and the International Union have been working very hard to expand and strengthen our union, not everybody is happy about our recent successes. I am talking about the dissident, anti-Teamster group TDU –which is currently working to weaken our union and destroy our ability to represent you and your interests. TDU are not true Teamsters, and their actions prove it!"
Now tell me why wouldn't I want to work together for the members and make our local better? Obviously you do not know me because if you did you would know I always try to bring people to work with the local. They are the elected leaders and it is only right to support them. Maybe you should spend more time contemplating about your local affairs then mine.

We'll in the last 3 1/2 years my pension contributions have increased a whopping $.25, with nothing in my contract that guarantees any other increase to the pension fund.

Does this surprise you?

Did you not know?

And as for the raises, they were nice.

Have to admit that getting raises (2.2%) that is less than cost of living (3.2%) is not what I would have hoped for.

And I am sure that those newer drivers really appreciate a 4 year wage progression to get to top rate, instead of 3 years which H gave away in the last contract, or 2 years wage progression which H gave away the contract before.

But hey, you're happy.

I guess that's all you care about.
What is you pension payout monthly if you retire?

I totally understand, it shows your a hypocrite and you will back up any TDU agenda. It is hilarious how you guys post that the Local is going bankrupt, people going to jail, Trustee or........... (are you ready?) merged with another local. Face it Sandy and all your TDU candidates have all bit the dust. The best part is Z and R.G. are in bed with EE and don't realize he is doing more harm than good for them. You always talk about OG cheerleaders when you are the lead TDU cheerleader here. Seriously, why cant you just do what is best for the members? If you put half the effort you spend on this website trying to engage and uplift the local we would be so much better! Everyone wants to tear down the leadership instead of building it up and that is a big problem. I hope all that reads this realizes we are all better working together, and yes that means you and I could do so much more positive for the local as a team instead of this petty nonsense on the internet. If you guys didn't blast the local with @#$%# talk I would have never joined this site. When are you guys gonna get it?
All of a sudden your concerned with our members? Isn't your only concern UPS? It cracks me up that you continue to talk snack on your former TDU beliefs. The herd of donkeys you run with all know what your about, and so do we!

Make sure he tells you about our PEER 80 plan and how well funded we are in the West.

I will tell you.

The last 4 years our funding percentage has hovered around 89% to 90.7%.

Not bad, but not great either.

And we do get a nice pension at peer 80, my guess would for most at peer 80 with a majority of it full time, would get north or $4000 a month or maybe some at $5000 a month.

But under this contract, we lost pension contributions of about $500 the first year, add $1000 the 2nd year, and add another $1000 this year.

That is compounded, meaning this year, UPS is putting $2500 a year less into our pension fund from here on out.

That money got diverted to our health care.

A weaker health care plan than we had before.

With a deductible starting on the 4th year of the contract, and we have NEVER had deductibles before.

This is what the OG is bragging about.

Not bad, but for a company that averages $4 billion a year in profits, this is not good.

So, if you win your delegate election, you are a major H voter?

They did it all on their own. Mark my words, Tim :censored2: 804 with that bump. He did it for votes.
The only ones that sold us out are H and H.

They are in power.

Not TDU.

Blame the right people.

H is to blame for thousands of retired teamsters and current teamsters getting a massive cut in their pensions and future pensions.

Almost 17 years in power and they show everyday how incompetent they are.

Now you pay more to healthcare but have you ever compared our SPD to other Taft Hartley's? They will pay more for their health expenses. It's a trade off. Considering your in a pention plan that is "green" and secured (not having to worry about reduced retiree payments) that pays a nice benifit paired with the best health insurance of UPS you really don't have a lot to compain about compared to their locals. You should be proud of what we accomplished in the west because you can always renegotiate pension contributions but it was a one time deal to lock in our carve out.

I love the site name! Lol.
And why was he cleared? He resigned to spend full time covering his tracks. Another sap to get screwed by TDU. He "didn't even know" it was going on? How much more money slid out the door on his watch that nobody knows about?
You love the site name?

You just posted a link to the World Socialist Web Site.

Carey's only mistake was keeping some Old Guard people in place to help him run the union.

Carey put the good of the union first.

The Old Guard put the good of the Old Guard first and sabotaged Ron Carey and the Teamsters.

The Old Guard were responsible for setting up Ron and lying under oath about it.

It all came out in the end, but by then it was too late.

And if you were facing a long prison term, and you knew you were innocent, would you keep working or work on your defense.

The Old Guard are the enemy here, and they are still the enemy.

They just put themselves first, and it shows every single day.

Now I see that earlier remark about not being an accountant, so you can not understand what a yearly decrease means for our local union on NET WORTH.

Every year from right now, our pension plan gets $2500 a year less from each full time driver.

In 5 years you will begin to see the result of diverting our pension increases into our healthcare plan.

Too bad you are not bright enough to see it now.

You don't even know anything about it but what you were told by TDU. Zero facts. If he was so innocent, what did he have to worry about?

I am not TDU.

The fact that you keep hitting me with that shows how little you actually know, and how desperate you are.

You have no good record to crow about.

Your OG's record is horrible on all fronts.

The fact that you keep harping on TDU and Carey shows how pathetic your re-election campaign really is.
