Our Southern Region puts more $$$ into the Pension Fund than any other region, yet we our on the bottom, when it comes to the payout and Health Benefits when you retire.. We also have the most Right to Work States.. Texas, Oklahoma, Louisianna, Misssisippi, Alabama, Georgia and Florida.. Some of these
States are dirt poor, however they make a large part of the vote when it comes to a Contract... These are the folks who crossed the picket line in 1997.. $2000 a month for 35 years would be more than enough for them to give a vote. Again these states have a high level of uneducated people who will vote on anything, when they are making 6 times as much as everyone else in their communities in these poor states... Very sad but true.. I wish I could dedicate more of my time to this problem..
