Some pension funds require a funding requirement of additional money over what has been negotiated. I'm sure it isn't that much but those extra funds have to come out of the negotiated amount. For example: a new guy makes $21 an hour under the new contract and his pension rate is $5, if the pension plan says we need an additional 5 cents as part of our plan to recover, the driver would now make $20.95 an hour and the other nickel goes to pension along with the $5. Same with increase in health benefits. NOTE: unless there is additional language in the supplement that says the company will cover the pension or benefits increase.</p></blockquote><p></p>
