I'll be polite. You do not know what you are talking about in this
matter.




Why does the UAW let the auto manufacturers keep the pension money for
the union members?

Why does the UAW let the quto manufacturers keep the benefit (medical,
dental, etc...) money for the union members?

What benefit do union members receive from the UAW?



1. As I explained previously, the UAW follows the traditional
manufacturing-white collar model. Many employers operate the same way.
Many employers have defined pension plans (that number is shrinking) and
401k's. It isn't a matter of "allow." The UAW does not dictate corporate
policy. If you are asking me the particulars as to why this model is
followed by the UAW, that is a question you'd have to ask the union.

2. See 1., above.

3. Heheheheheh. Typically, unions negotiate wages, hours, working
conditions and benefits for their members, and represent their members
in grievance processing.


You talk about your work a bit from time to time. I'm guessing you are
not a payroll employee.
