To Riceweevel:

The ibt pension plans are made up of trustees who make the decisions on the direction of each pension plan. Half are appointed ibt officers and the other half are from the vesting employers.

I think "facts" may not matter to this ibt organizer.
 
gtd, there was a question earlier by Buck I believe. Can you enlighten us about the IBt check offs you have? Is it more than just dues?

No, AMFA LIES ARE ALL THAT MATTERS ON THIS FORUM.
The Central States Pension Fund is Regulated by Federal Laws and not "RULED BY THE IBT" as people are implying on this thread.
It is a joint IBT represented employee/employer fund.

The court may require the Plan Administrator to pay up to $100 for each day's delay until the materials are received.
 
We can at AA not sign a dues check off card and pay by personal check or cash.

Can you do that at the IBT because I will never have them take $$$ from my check..

Never will I allow the IBT to manage my AA pension. They have enough trouble with the pensions they have now at some locals.

Time to rid AA of the TWU..

If this is true then how come its in the RED
 
If this is true then how come its in the RED

You provide me evidence of a DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN that currently has more assets than liabilities.[without a FED GOV Bailout]
In fact the AA Defined Benefit Plan is about 16 billion dollars UNDERFUNDED.
 
You and some of the other IBT supporters brought up the pension I just asked why its in the red? So you are admitting that the IBT pension is in trouble? AA pension maybe underfunded as well but that is because the TWU has made no effort over the yrs to have language to insure that AA keep it closer to being funded.

So the IBT is no better than the TWU.

AMFA does not have a pension, so you cant attack that.
Most companies are doing away with pensions in lieu of 401K.

The issue is are you fed up with the TWU?

If so bash the TWU.. Get what ever support you can for the union you support, we'll take it to a vote and see who wins. SIMPLE

Unless your are just working with the TWU to dilute the card count so that you can keep the TWU. If that is the case just admitt it.
Don't spout off about how bad AMFA is have you ever worked any other place other than AA? If not than you don't know.

I have worked for 5 airlines Now. All are gone I rode them all into the dirt. Got nothing to show from since you had to have 10yrs to be vested when I started and the others just did not make it.
 
SWA has a 401k at 9% matching.

What you refuse to face is the FACT that the teamsters DO CONTROL the CBAs that determine pension plan PARTICIPATION.

Again meet Fred Gegare. He ran against Hoffa in the most recent ibt Presidential election, he was also previously involved in the Central States Plan.

This is exactly what you should fear at AA.

You amfa supporters are seriously harming your cause and CREDIBILITY by attacking and LYING about the IBT. Keep it up and you won't have any chance of winning an election at AA.
