[QUOTE="brett636, post: 179654, member: 249"] As I have stated before pension cuts will not change my stance. Pension cuts are becoming a way of life and will be a way of life for years to come sadly enough. For me to back the APWA I would want to see some proof that they have some experience, or any experience at what they claim they can do for us. The APWA itself doesn't even have to have a contract with another company, just someone involved with them that has negotiated labor contracts succesfully in the past. The APWA also needs to release its plans for other aspects of our jobs like our vacations, wages, healthcare, etc. A good retirement is important, but I am not just concerned with the future, I am concerned with what I will have now. Finally, if the teamsters were to negotiate my wages and or healthcare levels down in order to keep their pensions afloat I might be a little more open to the idea of a non-experienced union taking over for them. The APWA has not even begun to propose such an option. Their only proposal is to keep the current dinosaur alive that we call a pension plan. Better ideas need to be put forth, not old ones in new clothing. [/QUOTE]
