That's good...but has anyone heard when we will see the increase?The increase is retroactive.
Does anyone know when the increased pension will be implemented?
I retired Feb 1 '14, have been notified TeamCare took effect June 1 with the enhanced Dental and Vision, but no mention of the pension.
My dues are 82 bucks a month. I consider it money well spent.
Exactly what I was trying to tell my old co workers , awash when you need the increase to cover your new improved medical plan costs which are more than likely going to increase next great contractLocal 177 got a boost, but we put half of our raise back into the fund. Maybe someone knows the exact numbers but it is around $4100 a month minus the new health care costs. In reality, when you factor in the new healthcare fees, it is a wash.
Speaking of increases,what about our union dues going up?,makes me sick to my stomach!It went up $2,not the normal $1 is usually does when we get our union raise.I guess it'll go up again on Aug 1st when we get another .70.Some guy who's been there for over 25yrs is now paying $70 a month!Remember the days when we all paid $25 a month?Those days are long gone.Many people are pissed off about how the contract was suddenly passed,but it's all about the power of money,the customers like Amazon who threatened us many times if the contract wasn't passed.Speaking of the new contract,when will we receive it?They're probably still tweaking it as I speak.
