Remember the old TV ad? Should have been singing "Beware the union label." You think the head cheese asshats are gonna take a cut on their pensions? Takes a lot of money to screw over your union buds. I've got a bro-in-law who's a teamster but haven't gotten a chance to ask him how his future looks yet. DIE HARD union man.

Of course, less union members, less dues. Less dues, dwindling resources to meet all the union obligations.

They will not give up the Union hierarchy management costs, and they will not give up their bribes to Democrat politicians in the form of donations. The only other costs are rank-and-file strike and pension funds. Logical choice for thieves, liars, communists and criminals.

These unions are counting on the Democrats they help elect to bail them out. They are “paying it forward,” as they put it. Most of us would call it “extortion.”

I noticed Soros paid the unions well during the Ferguson riots for transportation I think. Says much when o e man has that much influence that he can create as much hell on earth as he does because of his money...

This is an old article but the information on the health of the country’s biggest pensions I’m sure is still relevant.

http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-coming-union-pension-plan-collapse.html

I am anti-union for many reasons not the least of which is their socialist/communist ideas that run under the guise of “brotherhood”. I am pro American made products. I go to great lengths and expense to try to support my country through my purchases in personal and business transactions
However if you are a union member and you are counting on some retirement program that YOU funded and you think will be there I strongly suggest you get informed on the condition said union is in financially.
I have been a member of two unions Local 541 Teamsters and Local 101 Operating Engineers in Kansas City. My father was Local 2 Sheet Metal Workers, grandfather and my uncle were union plumbers, my grandfather and uncle on the other side where union roofers, my fathers in law was a boilermaker and my wifes stepfather was a teamster.
I cannot believe how uninformed most union members are especially since they allow the unions to control such a large part of their lives.
Union pensions are exactly like a pyramid scheme, without more coming in on the bottom the top gets lopsided and falls apart.
I wish no ill on any union member but I despise the unions unyielding blanket support of democrats and their Anti-American ways. I am amazed at the total ignorance of union members as it concerns politics and the results of democrat policies.

Union pensions will be cut drastically, there is no way around it except for the Fed gov to bail them out. This is exactly what the illegal bailout of GM was all about.
