[QUOTE="nospinzone, post: 122012, member: 1335"] Those monies do not belong to Teamsters. Teamsters are simply the administrators of the pension funds, and they were voted in by the membership to [B]MANAGE[/B] their contributions, which they have done poorly. Should the membership vote the APWA in as collective bargaining agent, this would signify that a majority of the voters do not want IBT to continue managing their money. As the newly elected union…ie [B]PENSION MANAGERS[/B]… APWA would request that the money that [B]BELONGS[/B] TO THE UPS EMPLOYEES be transferred to the new manager. [B]PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NOT THE PROPERTY OF THE IBT.[/B] They belong to the people who worked for them. The lawsuit would seize the contributions and pensions of all UPS employees, working or retired. Once APWA begins managing these funds, they would make no changes to your monthly amount. Whatever amount you were promised under the IBT benefit plan would be continued. And lets not forget that UPS is the guarantor of the pension benefits promised to any UPS employee. So your benefits are ultimately the responsibility of United Parcel Service. This doesn't mean that Teamsters won't hack away and reduce your benefits, which they are allowed to do. Also, the way IBT has the board of trustees set up now, retirees have no voice. [I]APWA would reserve two seats on its board of trustees for retired employees so that the [B]retirees would continue to have a voice [/B]in how their pension funds are managed. [/I] You’re free to have your opinion here, but you’re opinion won’t trump the NLRA. And the NLRA says that if 51% of the UPS voters wish to have APWA as their collective bargaining agent, then UPS is required to negotiated with them. I agree with you Pip. And believe me when I tell you that this is one big chess match, and Van and Danny have considered about every possible scenario. It would definitely be worth an hour of your time to call up one of these guys and hear their views on this. Outside of a phone conversation, its not easy to address all these concerns. Call 'em up.
