Most of what we have is because of Harry Bridges. His position was always the rank and file call the shots.
Where did out leaders get the idea they could make their own deals with PMA?
I hope Jack Heyman did not think it through, when he made that statement. I did not know we had a problem with the Lifetime benefits. Why would McWilliams take it out of the agreement with Miniace? He should have said no. To try and say it’s not that important is bullshit. Ask any Pensioner if he thinks messing with his pension is important.
With Companies all across the Country trying to cut back on their retired. And the courts letting them get away with it. Our union leaders have to stay on top of it. And not give PMA a inch.
I hope our local leaders watch whats going on at the top the next three years. Make the President who ever he is be accountable to the rank and file. Chuck Kole 6752
