[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 923773, member: 18044"] Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention. Many clauses in our Union Contract are deliberately worded to encourage a "Yes" vote at ratification time by uninformed members. In this case, I can just imagine that a voter sees the $200 figure, thinks that retirement is a long way away, and besides, he probably isn't a part-timer anyway, so he is inclined to vote "Yes" without actually knowing what he is agreeing to. Only someone who performed "due dilligence" would know the whole story, and even then, the retiree rates would probably be increased again after the Contract was ratified. In my Local our dues was recently increased by $3 a month to $93 for full-timers. But the announcement was delayed until all the votes were cast in the IBT election. I'm guessing if the members were hit with a dues increase just as they were opening their ballot envelope, Hoffa & Hall would have gotten even fewer votes. [/QUOTE]
