Sup,
1st, after decades of milking the company cow the union offers concessions.........uhhh gee thanks
You think last minute concessions forgive the previous actions, or render them harmless? Get real, maybe you need a new textbook?
Second,
The union management agreed to the asinine accounting practices used to fund [read NOT fund] these pensions. If the union management had required the money be put in personal accounts then they would all have their money today. Personal accounts you say.....
So now you're pissed off because a private company did roughly what your beloved government has been doing with our own "American Pensions" [read SSI]. pssst....they're not really putting ou money in there either. shhhhh
Third,
These employees deserve what they were promised and less is not right or fair. But guess what......not much is fair. The banks taking the debt service in the cornhole don't think it's fair either, nor do the vendors they have been azz farking for a decade. That's life.
Finally, strike away you morons and see how far that gets ya. It is this kind of stupidity that gives unions a bad name. Like I've said, it's not about "what is right or mutually beneficial" with unions today, it's about "what can we get away with".
Guess what dumbasses......even the gravy-train has a caboose...toot tooot
