Central States Fund: $19.8 Billion

[R-14Driver]

November 7, 2011: The mid-2011 financial report on the Central States Pension Fund is now available from Teamsters for a Democratic Union. The report, prepared by the Fund’s Independent Special Counsel, shows that Central States has to make 11 percent return on investments to keep from going backward.

The Fund took in $333 million in employer contributions for the first half of 2011, and projects an annual income from employers of $677 million. This includes the reduced contributions from YRCW, which started on July 1. But the payout of benefits will be $2.83 billion, more than four times the income for employers. This means the fund needs to make $2.2 billion on investment income, just to tread water.................

When Sandy Pope gets elected IBT President, she will push for real multi-employer pension fund reform and make a real effort to shore-up ALL the Teamster multi-employer plans including Central States! Why Hoffa, Hall, and rubber stamp Fred Gegare ever let UPS out of the Central States Pension Fund, and why they organized UPS Freight into a company pension plan is still a mystery to me!

pos hoffa's idea of pension reform is to get the pbgc to take everything over and everyone gets a 1/3 of what they were or suppose to get. That way the pos can say the funds are secure and wash his dirty, grubby, stankin, filthy, friendly slap on the back to his ceo buddies hands of it!

What the Ups guys do not realize is that when they turn 65 Central States is suppose to kick in and pay a portion of their retirement and they will be in for a huge dissappointment because Central States will not be able to meet those obligations.....Ups will only pay their pensions till 65 and that will be the end....Then CSPF pays after.....How soon they forget.....nuff said......
