Ask if we'll get a pension increase any time soon. Or is that a promise for the next election?

pension increase....we have to get new people to come on this job and stay if we want the little pension we have now and a welfare fund.... but im sure next contract will be more of the same     contractors dont want to give us nothing and a no vote is a strike...

the Cordiello slate never promised an increase in pension,that would be the Clinton losers that said that.But it doesn't mean the Cordiello slate won't try and get us an increase.We have to keep in mind that to increase our pension we have to put more in to it.That's what I was told.

and the people coming in now are paying the pension and welfare so yay for us.

Hate when people post the wrong shit and accept lies as truth.

at what point does a new hire and the boss  pay into welfare and pension fund... and how long does the average new driver stay on the job...

It's been 10 years since.   Do we wait for 20 years, 30, or 40?  Tired of waiting and hearing excuses.
