[QUOTE="gman, post: 54872"] The fact are, we are depositing aver 50% of the funds income. We are pauing for all the companies that have gone backrupt and are no longer paying anything into the fund. There are as I recall, 2 working for every one retired drawing from it. I have never thought that corruption was the basis of the fund going south. The problem is the constant loss of union jobs along with the massive stock market losses. And if you think the teamsters are going to do any more for you than UPS management is, you are very naive. ""The only thing UPS has going for it superior to most of the participating Teamster companies in the plan is it's demographics of a younger and growing (although that has slowed dramatically) workforce relative to the retiring baby boom generation."" The thing that UPS has going for it is UPS is still in business. The rest are only a memory. They pay NOTHING! As for what UPS will or won't do. They will do what ever they please, contract or no contract. They hold all the money. The teamsters can't afford to lose them and we can't afford to strike. You may be a steward but I've been brown for 34 years and I've seen what they do too. And for the most part, they seem to do pretty well. We are the highest paid with the best benefits in the industry. The fourth largest employer in the country. While I don't like everything that comes down from Corporate, I can usually see why they are doing it. And the reason is to make sure we are still around for another 100 years. We need the Teamsters to represent us. But UPS is not the beast you want to portray. 90% of the people that need your union representation are their own worst enemy and brought it upon themselves.
