It was shown in Louisville, KY too.Hockey Puck said:Anybody heard anything else about the video? Has it been shown in other ABF barns or just KC? ABF management showing that seemed kinda strange to me.
Just a point of information : Not all retirees receive medical benefits.stoneyABF said:Why should ABF and Yellow-Roadway pay an increase in the health & welfare every contract just so the Teamsters can keep there health & welfare funded for all the other retired employees that never worked for ABF or Yellow-Roadway.
Nothing strange about it at all. We get paid to watch safty movies each month and we get paid to watch quarterly reports each quarter.Hockey Puck said:Anybody heard anything else about the video?

stoneyABF said:Oh give me a fricken break. ABF as well as Yellow-Roadway are sick and tired for paying for all the other union companies that have gone under. Why should ABF and Yellow-Roadway pay an increase in the health & welfare every contract just so the Teamsters can keep there health & welfare funded for all the other retired employees that never worked for ABF or Yellow-Roadway.
Your statement was one of the dumbest statements I've ever heard. ABF just wants to provide health insurance and there own private pension to ABF employees only. They don't care if your sterile or your kids are on ritalin. so dumbass YOU THINK ABOUT IT!!
1)Do Treat people with respect.
2)Do Not resort to childish name calling if someone does not agree with your view.

Each geographical area controls their own pension funds, some are in better shape then others, however once a person has retired, those funds are supposed to have already received enough to cover that particular retiree.
If you think that a company who wants to control their pension funds has any other motive other then to control that money for their own purpose, then you need to look at some other companies who have failed and taken all their employees retirement money with them when the ship sunk.
