[QUOTE="804brown, post: 808105, member: 29553"] Great post aces. Fact is the Row A guys (aka row "C") were in charge when all this started. They were in charge when they diverted the health funds to the pension [B]AND DIDN'T TELL US![/B] They even told us "rest assured, your pension is in good shape". Two months later, they are re-elected and low and behold we find out that there are [B]huge[/B] problems with the pension. Back to the Health Funds, they [B]KNEW[/B] there wasnt enough $$ in the contract that [B]THEY[/B] NEGOTIATED WITH UPS . But they refused to say a word. They planned on telling all of us [B]AFTER[/B] THEY GOT RE-ELECTED. We threw them out on their a@#es . Tim and company walked into this mess . They saw the problem and took it head on. they had to make difficult choices. Was it the most politically savvy thing to do RIGHT AFTER TAKING OVER?? Hell no! But they did the [B]RESPONSIBLE[/B] thing. They saved our health plan til at least the next contract when they hope to negotiate enough $$ to make the plan long-term healthy.Then we can blame Row B if that doesn't happen. Have they blamed the old board?? Absolutely! [B]The old board screwed us! [/B] They deserve that blame. They knew the fund was disappearing BUT [B]DID NOTHING[/B] . Changes needed to be made [B]YEARS AGO[/B] to avoid what the new board HAD to do! Anyone who doesn't get that is in total denial or brain dead! [/QUOTE]
