[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 215034"] GuyinBrown, You get two types of monetary raises: hourly wage increases, and hourly benefit fund contribution increases. The benefit increases are split between the pension fund and the Health & welfare fund. All three amounts are specified in the contract when we vote on it. You get your wage increase no matter what. But that language I quoted from Article 34 apparently gives negotiators the right to adjust the splitting-up of the benefit fund raises even *after* we voted on them. So for the last three years Central States has put the health & welfare portion of the benefit raise into the pension fund to shore it up. Who knows, maybe now they will put the pension portion into the health & welfare fund as partial payback. Or maybe they will split the benefit raises up between the two funds as the contract originally said. wkmac, When they automatically extended the contract until 1987, didn't they put the new master contract to a nationwide ratification vote, and the Central States Supplement to a regional ratification vote?
