[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 755388, member: 18044"] Thanks for the info Upstate. The three annual split raises are each paid in two installments (February 1 and August 1.) I assume only one of each pair of raises is diverted into the pension fund. What happens to the three diverted raises after this current Contract expires? Are the raises considered [U]permanently[/U] diverted, or will they revert back into the wage base and into your paychecks? Pension funds usually have a rule that once you increase hourly contributions, you can't reduce them in the future. If your current contribution rate ([U]before[/U] the diversions) is $8.565 per hour, you are putting in $2.00 more per hour than those of us here in the long-suffering New England Fund!!! This may in part be why your monthly pension checks are so high. More money going in now allows for more money paid out later, even if the stock market goes down. The IAM follows the same philosophy with the UPS mechanic's pension fund. The New England Fund hasn't asked us to divert any raises yet. They just cut and cut and move the goalpost further away every time we approach it. The 2009 Annual Financial Report was just posted here . . . [URL]http://www.nettipf.com/plandocs.htm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
