[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 1483888, member: 4992"] This doesn't fall "only" in Hoffa's lap. The deregulation of the trucking industry, was the initial catalyst. The Central States re-employment rules are restrictive. (to a degree) Organizing, is a double edge sword. Not that I disagree with your premise. The TDU people harp on this constantly.... But, they don't tell the [I]whole[/I] truth. Organizing takes time, and money. My Local is proactive in doing so. Unfortunately, there is a "diminishing point of return." For what was spent.... in some situations, the Local will never recover the monetary expenditure in 15 years. (from dues) Yes, we gained members. But, at what cost ? Those are the ones you win. Going back, to deregulation. The PBGC pays .40 on the dollar. The whole concern, is they will go broke. Your NY plan, is a prime example. Only 50-55% funded.... and paying out $5500.00 a month ? (correct me if I'm wrong) Allow retired Teamsters.... (collecting a pension) To work for non-Union companies.. that [I]compete[/I] with the Union ones. I will let that, speak for itself. -Bug- [/QUOTE]
