Now download the current "Central States" chart to see why the IBT/UPS Central Plan pays peanuts compared to the Western Conference (PEER 80).
Are they seriously saying that they paying annually into EVERY full timer's Pension and Health and Welfare plan over 40,000 dollars each. Then why has my pension benefit not increased since the 2002 Contract, in other words who's skimming the pot?
Are the members under the IBT/UPS (Central )getting the same monetary contributions per Article 34 as those under (PEER 80)? Just try to get an official answer on that one, I dare you and better yet get it in writing.
It would be interesting to see if the part timers got a similar message and chart reading and compare them.
The problem is that many, and I mean
many , members dont believe anything they do will change anything that's crooked.
They just sit there and take it.
In our last local election a full timer told me his vote wouldn't change anything in our local. He said after years of watching garbage repersentation and seeing what the ibt leadership did to areas that voted down the last cba three times he said his vote didnt count or matter so he didnt vote.
The incumbent PO only won by one vote that year. When I told him the election results he just stood there with his mouth open. His vote didnt matter?
All of us have to keep educating folks with truth no matter what it looks like. It's not over until it is.
