IAM Pension, protected the majority of the scope language, stood up for the members against the company in court during both the bankruptcies.
You still have the grievance procedure, safety and health provisions and everything else in your contract and have not gone back to being employees at will where the company can change things daily like they did when the PPG was in effect.
But unfortunately there were casualties since the laws protect the companies and not the employees.
And that is just for fleet, not M&R where we still do the majority of heavy mtc in-house.
700, they stood up for the members in court because it was their duty. in the end, they were'nt finally convincing, just went through the motions. They didn't protect squat in scope language. They got handed exactly what the company wanted them to have. Period. Even Canale in defense said "We had a knife to our back and a gun to our head" effectively saying we couldn't do squat.
700, since you continue to put false information about the pension I will have to believe that you are now lying since you had ample time to correct yourself.
Regarding the IAM pension, with reference to your #37 under this thread.
Your memory is mind boggling as you say that the fleet service concession was a $48 million bogey number. For the record, the August 2002 concession for fleet service was $427 million [6.5 years of concessions], which included around a $30 million credit. There was also a factoring concession for a retro pay cut that I beleive went back to July 1, 2002.
This is well documented and if you continue with your nonsense and lies I will put forth the hard copied sources here, with your own leaders signatures admitting the $427 million total concession.
This is dispute only in your mind as it was common knowledge in 2002. Your mechanics was $115 a year I believe. Not sure what the total concession was. The $900 million total with all groups included was annual only.
For those other than 700 reading this, I apologize for this 'rehashing' as I assume most were already aware of the huge concession amounts. 700 is too I believe but he likes fanning lies so the smoke makes the truth cloudy.
At any rate, here is the breakdown of certain concessions in fleet service for that proposal. Annually fleet service concession was $72 million.
Breakdowns:
Wages was the most significant cut and i think everyone can figure that one out. It was in the hundreds of millions.
After that, the second greatest concession was in fact the
Retirement benefits at: 48.2 million. This and the others below were not an annual concession but the concession for the duration. The retirement concession was a result of reduced company contributions and the institution of the IAM pension plan.
After that, the other big concessions in order were:
Vacation: 30.1 million
Health and Welfare: 29 million
Sick leave: 13.7
And a bunch of smaller ones going all the way down to "leaves of Absences" at 1.8 million.
I have this all on hard copy and if there is an election then you can bet the pension info would be made public to counter the ridiculus but typical IAM lies you stick to.
separately, just for historical purposes, the NMB determined a Dismissal-Withdrawn when I filed at the NMB in the '90's. There was never a determination of showing of support, however, it became clear when the reservations folks were considered eligible voters that there wasn't enough cards. Dismissal-Withdrawals are actually extremely common so you are ignorant to the fact that all unions have done many DW's. In other rulings, the IAM has been flat out dismissed because of lack of showing of interest [card signings]. I included just one of many in my post above but like many times I correct you, you just pick up your ball and go home without responding.
Actually, if there is an election I won't have time to spend on these side track issues & spending time debating this stuff with you unless there is some useful purpose.
I did however spend some time today as I saw the hit total taking off on this thread. So it occured to me that it might be useful in furthering this discussion since you have been so willing to play the role of disputer. Thanks.
For now, say what you want. Your opinion is only that if it has no support.
regards,
why do you ask?? :unsure:
