[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 106865, member: 198"] "For those who just hate to see a penny of "their" money help any other human being -- stop putting money in the church collection plate -- and stop paying your taxes. Seriously our pension plan pays according to contribution levels -- so really no one "suffers" to save another. I'm an old dog ....... still learning new tricks ....... but also wary of tricky newcomers :-).

[B]When I was hired and eventually joined the union I guess HR and IBT forgot to tell me that my monthly pension contributions were actually charity for others to use at other companys and that if I was lucky I might actually get to retire some day if there was anything left.
