It doesn't matter if the money is there or not it matters if an arbitrator will OK an increase if the pension board is dead locked 4 to 4 and past pension arbitrations show that unless a pension is 100% funded not 80% arbitrators will SAY NO. Arbitrators don't care about trends or actuary reports. The reason our pension has always gone up at 80% is because the UPS trustee allowed it BUT they didn't have to. I understand your concerns but as long as both the Union and Company actuarys gave your fund the thumbs up for the future take the increase and run.</p></blockquote><p></p>
