Trying to explain that things actually work differently based on where you work. It is not the same everywhere even if your hero tries to tell you something different.

It's in the constitution. It covers everyone in every craft. Your local may have a separate strike fund that works differently but you will receive that on top of the IBT strike payment.
"Article XII, Section 14(a) The proposal increases the minimum amount of out-of-work benefits and provides for the payment of benefits from the first day of a strike as long as the strike and defense fund has at least $150 million at the start of the strike."
"Outofwork benefits in strikes recognized as properly subject to the payment of outofwork benefits or relief in cases of lockouts, etc., shall be paid to all members not in arrears for dues in excess of one (1) month and otherwise in good standing, who are members of a Local Union not more than one (1) month in arrears in per capita tax, at the rate of five (5) times the dues rate upon which per capita tax is calculated, with a minimum benefit of one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) per week."

Provided the assets of the Strike and Defense Fund are above 150 million dollars on the day before a strike or lockout begins, such outofwork benefits will be payable beginning on the first (1st) day of a strike or lockout on a daily prorated basis. “

We’re talking about pensions? We were talking about strike benefits pensions are completely different

Sorry, I didn’t see you already posted this but I’m not sure what the other guy is getting at I think he confused, strike benefits with pension

Unless you file short term disability or FMLA none of us will have insurance after being on strike a full week. Our teamcare plans are effective only while working. For (example) if your off "unscheduled"a week and break your leg the following Tuesday you will not have insurance coverage.
That is incorrect.
We are covered if we go on strike

Wrong, Teamcare has already informed locals and joint councils they will cover all striking union members for the duration of any strike

I'm pretty sure the shortage of CDL drivers is OTR not local. I applied at quite a few before I got the job I have now and only got a couple of calls for local work but a crap ton of calls from OTR companies.It’s rather odd. Honestly, there’s a shortage of CDL drivers and a shortage of work at the big carriers

Until all the scabs take over and UPS no longer contributes and they run out of money. Which brings up another question what happens to retirees on Teamcare if the scabs take over? Asking for a friend.

Major scrambling will be happening the second no pay is coming in. Most in our union have never experienced a strike.

There won't be any work for them if they do cross.

I would think they would. The union is striking, something they are not a part of.
The company will make work.
