[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5214278, member: 49065"] They were not paying into any Union sponsored Pension and Health and Welfare plans at that time was probably at one of the reasons why the Union never fought for those clerical positions. In reality the whole “97” strike was about increasing full time contributions into their troubled pension plans in order to increase benefits and to prevent the Company from taking total control over our pension trusts in order to cut any future funding and benefits. I believe local 407 had a phone center at that time that was under our collective bargaining agreements. Those jobs were eliminated and they were offered similar work in different departments with again the understanding that when they leave or retire that the position will be no more. Any full time union job is important, those positions vacated like 22.2, full time clerks and 22.3’s usually are filled by high seniority drivers that do pay eventually into the Union’s controlled pensions plans.
