Nys teamsters pension & retirement fund

[BigUnionGuy]

If a non returned ballot is the same as a yes vote. Why turn it in if you were a yes?

Do you really want me to speculate ?

Just playing devils advocate here.



Personally I think they made the right choice to cut benefits. Although I don't think it's fair that the benefits were not cut evenly and the retirees took the biggest hit.

The current employees are giving up a lot. They are probably making 5k less a year than the rest of the country

@3 done 3 to go
What's your top rate?

That's right I forgot that they gave up all
Of those raises.

Which is grounds for a lawsuit if you ask me. The pension trustees flat out lied to them. It would of taken a miracle for that to have fixed their pension.

And that's still just an easy way to get a yes vote since the retirees have no vote.

Same way here. It's depressing. I'm just working extra overtime , trying to build up my 401k and cash reserve

It's truly sad it's one thing if they say they will cut you a 100 or 200 a month. It's another thing if they cut you 1k or 2 K a month

Once they get to the point that they're trying to sell you on the fact that more money will fix the problem. The pension is already in a black hole it'll never get out of.

Half of our major contributors have left our plan.

In this situation they waited way too long. The writing has been on the wall for a good while. I'm still not sure they cut it enough.


Upstate has been telling us for awhile that pensions numbers and i had been telling him since day one there is no way he would have a 5k pension for all of his retirement. Simply unsustainable

Unfortunately it's the same way here. It's an election year and nobody has the balls to make a cut

Never shop at Walmart, never buy Hostess products, Yuengling beer will never exist in my fridge. I don't support these and other anti Union companies. We definitely agree with changing the bankruptcy law regarding pensions and treating us as equal creditors.

Yuengling is never in my fridge cuz it sucks ass.

They're just in a rebuilding year......decade........century.

It's more like self destruct mode.

I live and work in NYC and I'm part of local 177 which is based out of New Jersey. Does this pension cut affect me if I'm not yet retired?

Off the top of my head I think we are at 33.66 full rate now.

Well received the ballot. For a reduction of pension. I'm voting NO! 18% reduction. 576 dollars. Plus our last raise they took 35 cents of it. Even after they said they won't do that again. I'm really disgusted by the union. All they do is the same damn things that still don't work. Also, if the ballot isn't returned before Sept 7th. It will count as a yes vote.

Here we go again....

Largest Pension Fund in the country.
