The ONLY thing that will come of this is dragging out Sec 6 and if we do get ANY sort of DB, it will be self funded through lower raises or a decreased dc contribution...you know, the one that’s vested in your name every 15 days???
If the Reps won’t direct the above...then they can be sent packing.
Do not screw with the DC in any way, shape or form.
Completely agree. Everyone should drop a line to your reps. They want our feedback - let's give it. I just sent them an email. Takes just a few minutes!
Money earmarked for a DB, even if its additional to DC, is money they could have paid us either straight cash or somewhere else more efficiently in the contract like health insurance premiums, work rules, training pay, etc.
was spot on too. Any additional retirement into a DB or DB like plan is going to reduce the money/work rules/ etc somewhere else. I'm all for added retirement, just raise the DC percentage.
