[QUOTE="804brown, post: 943219, member: 29553"] Had enough, You say it was boring?? Why because we didnt get to hear Donato and co make fools of themselves?? It might not have been exciting but it sure was informative. We found out that the pension fund was "doing ok" in the "13th percentile" as apposed to 49th in 2009 or 61st in 2004. Last year we got a 3.2% return. You say it is "boring" ?? Why ,because it is due to the changes that this board made that you are jealous of?? Granted the talk on retirement options and investment was a bit long,but it was informative and helpful . They plan on having seminars for the members with 10 and 15 yrs not just those with 23 yrs or more. That is a good thing, right?? Tim clarified a few things on Medco and 19 yr olds in college getting our coverage now, the 9.5 committees that are forcing ups to create more routes, falsification, dishonesty, getting to view your driving abstract, update on the safety committees, late air and missed packages, etc. Some members got to the mic and asked about issues like east side air walker layoffs and will this board stand up for PTers in the next contract. A guy talking about all the grievances they have been getting paid on in maspeth as well as what to say when you dont know all the answers to the safety questions. The meeting went for 2 full hours. The old board gave us 1 hr. Back then when a member went up to the mic he was either booed or hissed at or had certain members who turned their backs to the person at the mic. The members that came to those meetings were constantly disrespected by the old board. Those meetings were: "i checked the books" , "Its your money!" , "It's a fair contract", "You said your piece now sit the friend--- down!", "You dont like it vote me out!" Ah, the good ol days!! We as a local took them up on that last one. We voted them out. Not for them to return to the scene of the crime in 3 years. We voted them out for good!! Remember that. [/QUOTE]
