[QUOTE="804brown, post: 892917, member: 29553"] Yes it was a good meeting. Who were the 2 idiots with the chessehead hats with the rats on them?? I liked the "Inside workers survival guide". We got some good news on the pension. Pete said it went from $817 million to $889 million but there was a problem with less people contributing due to members being sent home or calling in from the parking lot. But he said we are now 65% funded which gets us out of the red zone anyway an into the yellow zone. The H/W fund lawyer Janey gave a great history and update on our funds. More good news: we won the arbitration with UPS on how much of a reserve we need. The arbitrtator said 3 and a half months is good enough, not the 6 months that UPS wanted!! I think Tim said H/W fund will now be abot to restore some of the things that were taken away like the 80/20 for emergency room care!! Then Tony D (for denial) gets us to the mic to question Tim, saying when he left there was $$ there. I guess Tony Denial wasnt listening to the H/W lawyer explain how everything went down. She was hired by Howie. She worked for the funds when Tony was there and continues under Tim and co. Tony continues to come clean and take responsiblity for what happened to the funds. She pointed out how the old board knew exactly what was happening, how the $$ was running down. What she didnt say, but I will, is that the old board not only knew about the problem. But that they never told us about the problem (assuming of course that they would get re-elected and then address the problem). I heard one of the members at todays meeting stood up and demanded that Tony explain what his plan was to fix the problem!! Tony just kept walking back to his little group of followers and didnt respond. Then it was Bettencourt turn to embarass his slate. He couldnt understand what the lawyer was saying even though she and Tim both explained how it went from negative $19 milllion to negative $4 million. Good pick Tony!! LOL Then Tim mentioned we won an arbitration on "lunch time" . I havent seen a copy of the arb but it seems to say that lunch begins when you stop doing your job. The completion of assigned work. There was a lot of info. If you missed it, you missed alot. But once again the sound system sucked. Other than that it was informational and helpful!! [/QUOTE]
