[QUOTE="Addison Feeder Driver, post: 1280052, member: 52086"] The reason why there is a pension cap and that we haven't received a pension increase in a decade is that every pension is under funded. Under new laws every pension has to be 100% funded. That means they can't rely on new employees to pay your pension, the money has to already be in the fund when you retire. The number of Teamsters has gone down significantly over the last ten years. I blame some of it on organizing. The union has to do a better job of organizing new drivers. If Fed Ex was organized it would take care of all our pension problems. The other problem is that the National contract passed so easily. I'm insulted by the concessions in this proposal and disappointed in whoever voted yes because they allowed this contract to pass. Once National passes it limits what other locals can do to make changes. Sent using BrownCafe App [/QUOTE]
