[QUOTE="Hawfuh Sux, post: 1166538, member: 48086"] Now in the Southwest, we have Andy M, Ron H and RANDY C lying to the members that there's nothing we can do about our healthcare. Their saying that the members misunderstood what they were voting on. That we have no option but to go into TEAMcare--but when they held the meetings at the locals out here they lied through their teeth that they were working on a carve-out for the WEST and that we needed to vote YES because we risked losing the Memorandum of Understanding we had with UPS until November 1st. Even if we came out with the carve-out HOFFA was never going to honor it. Now their gonna try to push a second vote without going back to the table. We will vote NO for the second time. The biggest problem now is that we are fighting two fronts, UPS and the Teamsters. The situation for the Central States is a disaster. In 2007 the Central States Pension Fund was over 70% funded, today its just over 50%. Hoffa and Hall know very well that the Central States Pension Fund will not survive the next 5 years if they don't merge the 140,000 of us on company health-plans to into TEAMCARE. Its pathetic that they want to put their fiscal corruption and incompetence on our backs. We will continue to vote NO in the Southwest and possibly have to file a lawsuit against the IBT for trying to railroad us into accepting their sellout. A lawsuit was already filed against them on behalf of the thousands of members that never received ballots. [/QUOTE]
