[QUOTE="710 steward, post: 1520362, member: 52299"] Baboon Hitting disagree for all the posts honestly doesn't do much for your counter argument. You mention big fat pension in one of your posts. What does a 25 year pension check net??? Do you know??? I do and it's $2450 a month after taxes. I netted over $1300 this week alone and next week's check will look similar. So in two weeks I have brought home more than a person who retired last year. This is the fat pension check you are referring to??? Now start deducting additional dollars for Teamcare coverage and guess what happens??? Let me guess you aren't sure so I'll explain it for you. The gas bill goes up. Groceries go up. Teamcare goes up but the pension check goes down. HollandMan73 is correct. Funding is creeping up on a dollar for a dollar which is inexcusable. Over 17 years have gone by without a raise or an alternative for retirement but every year I pay more into the fund. We are at historic levels for paying into a fund to receive the least out of it. If this makes me a complainer so be it. Regardless what KH tells you its wrong to expect people to continue down this road. My idea does not make unions look bad. What makes unions look bad is when they accept money on your behalf and in turn give you pennies on the dollar for your hard work. Don't believe me?? Take the numbers to a CPA you trust and let them do the math. You won't like what they have to say about what you are funding vs what you'll receive. [/QUOTE]
