It would be better to get that 2.50, 3.00 hr to the employee’s for a 401! Because there not Accruing anything! All it’s doing is keeping yellow active, as a distressed employer! But they can give that to the employees, they don’t have the billions to buy there way out! Like ups, Kroger, and many other employer’s!There is no UNION defined benefit pension plan. Your contract simply states how much is to be contributed to a pension fund. A pension fund is an independent corporation that is not now nor has ever been owned or operated by the Teamsters.
Pension funds, not the union, determine how much your benefit will be based on the monthly contribution rate negotiated by your union and ratified by the rank-and-file members. Nowhere in your contract will you find a defined retirement benefit.
There is no failure of Yellow to make full contributions to the pension funds. Yellow is making the full contribution as required by the various labor agreements approved by the membership.
The Teamsters Union IS big business and will do whatever necessary to keep a steady flow of dues money from the YRC companies flowing into the IBT and local union treasuries. The union wrote off Yellow as a viable company a decade ago. Your union considers YRC employees "Dead Men/Women Walking".
Get out now. Yellow dies in 2024
