Everybody's freebies can go away, at any time. How much stuff have the unions guys voted to give away?
Ah,........but you know what the answer to that is , Brother.......
It was our choice to give it away...... that's why the company pulled out the old smoke'n'mirrors, terror tactic and spread the rumor that we were going to be bought........
The company that always claimed to be a good, moral, "Christian" - valued employer.............turned out that they would stoop to lies and deception just like any other employer,.........merely to line their own pocket.......
They took advantage of the bumbling incompetence they had noticed with the IBT .......
Watching them allow the largest contributor to the CSPF to buy out ,......... negotiating a cut-rate contract with YRC that involved NO pension payments for....how many years?.....and then watch our so-called..."leadership"..... bloviate about "pension reform"........
Most Multi-Employer pension funds,......if not all......were pretty solvent up to about 10 years ago........
Between our bumbling fools at the IBT, and Wall Street's plotting and Deviousness,........because they didn't like the idea of Unions doing "social engineering" with the stocks the pension funds owned,.........now, most funds are in critical status....
Funny,.........fund was fine 10 years ago,.......and I certainly didn't do anything to change it......
Unions,........years ago,..not today's spineless wimps at the IBT .........fought for all that stuff that we're now being tricked into giving away........
