[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1145085, member: 14176"] Anybody who has read my posts on this site know that I am union to the bone. Guys like 407 and Stink have always been my allies and I hope they still are. I have remained quiet on these threads, but can do so no longer. Come on fellas, really???? I can't "go along to get along" like you guys seem to be doing in endorsing this concessionary contract. Whether the Central States Healthcare Plan is solvent today, with many months of reserves, it is obvious to me that the actuaries have determined that this will not continue to be the case. With a declining membership in most of the other Teamster sectors, coupled with a disproportional ratio of retirees, the union is once again attempting to prop up a soon to be failing entity on the backs of UPSers. It happened in last contract, when the company was solicited to purchase the employee liability from Central States and form a single employer fund in order to avoid Red Zone status. Wasn't this something we fought vehemently to avoid a decade previously in 1997? Now this move???, which to me seems contradictory to the aforementioned pension buyout. I very much want to believe that our union is looking out for our best interests, but I fear we are in the midst having our shoes peed on while being told it is raining. [/QUOTE]
