Pension Discussion

David Bourne, Director of the Teamsters Airline Division, has proposed to the Company that it consider participating in the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Fund http://www.wctpension.org/. The Company responded with a willingness to analyze and seriously consider the idea. The Union and the Company then agreed to form a Joint Pension Sub. Committee to explore the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension option. Stay tuned for further updates on the Pension issue as discussions with the Company progress. Rest assured, the IBT is committed to fully educating the membership on the Pension issue. Ultimately, if the parties can agree at the bargaining table, you will make the final decision through a vote of the membership.
