OPEIU343 PICKET LINE INFORMATION

WE ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE THE SAME PENSION THE CAW NEGOTIATED FOR THEIR OFFICE WORKERS AT FORD AND CHRYSLER DURING THE 1999 BIG THREE BARGAINING.

TRADITIONALLY OUR PENSIONS HAVE TRACED THE BIG THREE AUTO OFFICE CONTRACT. PRIOR TO 1993 OUR BASIC PENSION WAS HIGHER THAN THEIRS.
WE ARE ONLY TRYING TO CATCH UPTO WHERE WE HAVE PARITY WITH THEM.

OVER THE NEXT 12 YEARS ONLY 3 PEOPLE IN OUR BARGAINING UNIT WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE 30 AND OUT PENSION. FOR A WORKER WITH 28 YEARS OF SERVICE, WHO IS 60 YEARS OF AGE, THE PENSION WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $1,000 LESS PER MONTH.

THE PRE-REQUISITE FOR THE CLASS "D" PENSION IN ALL THE BIG THREE PENSION AGREEMENTS IS ANYONE WHO EARNS $26.08 OR MORE AN HOUR. OUR LOWEST HOURLY RATE IS APPROXIMATELY $27.50 PER HOUR.

WE FEEL THAT IF THE CAW FELT STRONGLY ENOUGH TO FIGHT FOR THIS CLASS "D" PENSION FOR THEIR OFFICE WORKERS AT FORD AND CHRYSLER, THAT THEY OBVIOUSLY FEEL THESE WORKERS HAVE THE SKILLS TO RECEIVE THE CLASS "D" PENSION - THEREFORE, THERE SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM IN THE CAW, AS OUR EMPLOYERS, GIVING THIS SAME PENSION TO THEIR OWN OFFICE WORKERS.

OUR BARGAINING UNIT ARE BARGAINING IN GOOD FAITH - WHY DON'T THE CAW DO THE SAME.
