You're the clown. In 1974, a democrat "read communist" congress set up the union pensions to fail long term with "ERISA". The "Employee Retirement Income Security Act". The set up to fail in this bill was that it disallowed pension plans from building significant over funding to anticipate "Baby Boomers" retiring in mass. Instead, any time a fund was had a significant enough "nest egg" it had to bump up pensions to those retiring to wipe out the nest egg. Early 80's, a teamster pension was $1,000 a month or so, by 1990, it was easily double that or more, and clearly not sustainable when baby boomers started mass retirement under the "golden 85", which was also not sustainable long term. At that point, add in de-regulation, also a democrat law written by Teddy Kennedy and signed by Jimmy Carter, and the fix was in. The Teamsters have now lost their only selling point, by virtue of a pension doomed to fail by virtue of ERISA, and the deregulation that doomed many of the companies in the Multi-employer pension plans to failure.
I bet you still vote democrat despite having multiple knives in your back courtesy of their constant double crosses of labor.
