Thats the problem your expecting somthing that is not there
God bless the retirees and the pension that they are receiving. But, for anyone, retiree or not, that thinks that us working stiffs should sacrifice everything that the former Union members have fought for, are the ones being selfish. If this crap passes, we, the working stiffs will have nothing for a retirement. So go ahead and enjoy your retirement, you have all earned it, but don't expect all of us to just forfeit ours, so you can keep yours. We have dreams of a retirement also, so let us fight to keep it.
And Jimmy, with all due respect Bro, while you were working here, you would have never accepted this crap.
Guys- CDL isn't one w/o balls, or a non-qualified jerk with no hope of a future. He's a stand-up for the little guy ex-steward who has already moved to another good job. As usual, he's putting others first, and is taking the heat for those less fortunate. You could learn a lot listening to him. There are some that will Never get a decent job after this; AND- if I understand the implications of the Pension- ... It could be possible that when YRC closes- YRC, ABF AND some Teamsters Locals collapse with the Fund- and current retirees now collecting 3500 could find themselves collecting 1/3 that - from the Pension Guarantee Board (hold your breath- it's broke too)
This is what would happen with my Local's funds as we are not affiliated with any regional fund.
