[QUOTE="Hawfuh Sux, post: 1166263, member: 48086"] The [B]$2.50[/B] pension increase over the life of the [B]5 [/B]year regressive Tentative Agreement does not add up in the [B]Southwest Package Rider Supplemental Agreement. [/B]For example full-time UPS Teamsters in the [B]Southwest[/B] currently get [B]$9.60 contributed [/B]into their pensions per hour. Upon ratification of this agreement, the [B]Southwest [/B]will only see it rise to [B]$9.85.[/B] As you can see that's only a [B]$0.25[/B] increase and not the [B]$0.50[/B] the IBT has been implying. When this question was raised, my BA stated that the other $[B]0.25[/B] were going into the development of [B]TEAMCARE.[/B] Its only in the [B]second[/B] and [B]third[/B] years of the [B]Southwest Rider [/B]that members get the [B]$.50 cent [/B]pension increase per year. However, there is no guaranty that we will receive any contributions on the [B]fourth [/B]and [B]fifth[/B] years. The [B]Southwest Rider[/B] language for [B]8/1/2016 [/B]and [B]8/1/2017[/B] reads [B]"the pension increase will be in accordance with [U]Article 34 of the National Master Agreement[/U] and will be between $0.00 and $0.50, which will be added to the contribution rate of $10.85 per hour." [/B] [B]Article 34 of the National Master Agreement [/B]reads [B]"TBD based on Central States' Cost"[/B] in the years [B]2016[/B] and [B]2017. [/B]In other words, us in the [B]Southwest[/B] are only being guaranteed to get [B]$1.25[/B] pension increase over [B]5[/B] years and not [B]$2.50[/B]. [U]Why [B]hasn't[/B] this [B]issue [/B]been [B]addressed [/B]by the [B]company friendly[/B] and [/U][B][U]pro-Hoffa/Hall camp? [/U] [/B] [/QUOTE]
