[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2604559, member: 14176"] The Company was given a chance to get out of their healthcare plan, because the opportunity was given to them by Hoffa and Ken H. In doing so, many of us [I]did lose[/I] benefits when we went into TeamCare. In the Central Region, the biggest region by far, we weren't afforded any MOU, rather were told that H&W was a done deal when the Master passed and could not be addressed in any of the failed supplements subsequent offers. I believe it is because Hoffa and Hall were only interested in infusing added contributions to the Central States H&W plan (C6). Not sure where you get this??? First of all, Tim S. President of Local 804 at the time, presided over a contract that has no ties to the National Master, never has. They had and continue to have their own H&W and pension plans, plans that improved dramatically under his watch. Secondly, Fred Z absolutely did not sit silently in regards to the proposed H&W changes. In fact he was the first national leader to pen a letter in opposition less than a week after the the "2 man meeting", where everybody (including your beloved Andy M) sat in silent disbelief of a whirlwind presentation,fill with radical changes. I'm glad your region was successful in side stepping TeamCare, but realize that opportunity was never going to be extended to the Central Region, because the IBT wanted that money for their fund. With this in mind, you better watch your back in 2018. In other words, mismanagement and politics. It's convenient to blame the decisions of a dead man, who was replaced by a new President that has remained incumbent for nearly 20 years since, who failed to demonstrate the vision and political self sacrifice to attempt to right the ship. During that time frame, he instead watched membership shrink, and allowed the biggest contributors to withdraw. If the Western Pension Fund managed to weather the storms blamed for the demise of Central States, then what else are we to believe? [/QUOTE]
