[QUOTE="710 steward, post: 266504"] Our 67% funding is figured at the worst case senario, there are new laws in effect now that has changed the ways that pensions are handled. Being in a local union gives us seperation from the International Union, which allows us the ability to negotiate our contracts in a more "localalized" way. Don't get me wrong, UPS is UPS, but each region has different issues due to both cultural and geographical differences, and we in Local 710 can know that our language is here specifically for us, not a Florida Teamster with "blizzard" language in his contract. 710 is a very strong union (not all will agree) but less than 1/10 of 1% of us lose our jobs by termination. Imagine if your UPS Region Manager had to work in the same town as the President of the IBT? We have a much smaller chain of command in our union, how many International Teamsters can say that they've had the opportunity to talk to Hoffa after a meeting? [/QUOTE]
