[QUOTE="Re-Raise, post: 3627532, member: 16501"] I felt like the company thought it was a good time to try to make a run at taking over control of the pensions. They sent out mailings telling us how our contributions were supporting the pensions of other teamsters from other companies and that we would be better off getting out of those multi-employer funds. (probably all true) They had just started to offer stock purchasing to hourlies and begun so-called self directed work groups to make us feel like we were more invested in the company. I had already been with the company long enough to not trust the company without union protection going forward and I felt that the union would cease to exist without the pensions. We were also trying to fight for more full-time positions which resonated with a lot of the population at the time. [/QUOTE]
