[QUOTE="LagunaBrown, post: 1213757, member: 29765"] If you look on the 177 website they posted this on June 6th in preparation for Teamcare......... Was the Teamcare health plan considered a disaster since their Pension is struggling? This is an example of how either way they will be looking to the GWI for pension relief. Many members in the Western Teamsters Conference Pension Plan that were covered by the UPS H/C plan have little knowledge of how Taft Hartley works and need to be educated. Lets not scare people in the WTCP plan (especially when it really is one of the best in the country) when we should use 177 as and example of how the system operates. However the membership chooses to vote is up to the individual but these issues should be touched on without bias. From Local 177 website [COLOR=#ff0000]IN JUNE BEFORE THE FIRST VOTE:[/COLOR] [COLOR=#696969][I]"Upon ratification of the National Master and Local 177 agreements, the UPS/Local 177 Pension Plan Trustees have agreed to permit UPS full-time members to reallocate .30 cents each year from the GWI to the pension fund. This reallocation will be done by a special vote of the UPS full-time members only. If this vote passes, the .30 cents, along with addition contributions from UPS which were negotiated by our Local, will generate an additional $402.00 per month, raising the top monthly benefit to $4102.00 per month beginning on August 1, 2013.
