Let me help you out. a) Except as set forth in this Section, Health & Welfare and/or pen-sion contributions shall be increased by forty dollars ($40.00) perweek on August 1, 2008 and on each subsequent August 1st duringthe life of the contract. Where the employees are covered by bothTeamster Health & Welfare and Pension Funds in a Supplement,Rider or Addendum, the weekly health & welfare and pension con-tributions shall be allocated by the respective Joint SupplementalArea Negotiating Committees, subject to the approval of the JointNational Negotiating Committee. In those Supplements, Riders orAddenda, where some of the employees are covered by a TeamsterHealth and Welfare Plan and some of the employees are covered bythe Company Health and Welfare Plan, the amount of money allo-cated to the Company Health and Welfare Plan shall be the same asthe amount allocated to the Teamster Health and Welfare Plan in theSupplement, Rider or Addendum. The applicable Supplement,Rider or Addendum will reflect the appropriate agreed-to increasesto the Teamster Pension Plans in those Supplements, Riders orAddenda where all the employees are in the Company Health andWelfare Plan and/or covered by Section (friend) of this Article. Except asset forth in Section (friend) below, these increases shall be allocated asfollows: thirty-five cents ($0.35) per hour to Health and Welfare ineach year of the contract. The remainder of the contribution increaseeach year will be paid into pension. Our health and welfare and pension is covered under our Supplemental agreement. Definition= Tony D and Company are the ones who negotiate our Supplemental agreement. They are the ones who did not negotiate more money into the fund over the past two contracts. They are the reason this fund is in bad shape. Tim and company are the reason its finally starting to turn around. Make no mistake about it, this fund has a long way to go before it considered a healthy fund. But your a Jack A** if your going to try and blame the national contract for our health fund being in the shape it is today.</blockquote>
