"UNITED
PARCEL SERVICE INC. RETIREES WHO SUED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER A 2014
PENSION LAW THAT AUTHORIZED 29% CUTS TO THEIR BENEFITS ADVANCED THEIR LAWSUIT
ALLEGING AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENTAL TAKING OF PROPERTY, ACCORDING TO A
U.S. COURT OF FEDERAL CLAIMS RULING"
JUNE 2022
JUDGE OKS CLASS CERTIFICATION FOR
RETIRED N.Y. TEAMSTERS SUING U.S. OVER PENSION CUTS
A U.S. Court of
Federal Claims judge on Monday approved class certification for a
lawsuit filed by a group of retirees participating in the New York State
Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund, Syracuse, against the
federal government for approving a benefit reduction plan under the
Kline-Miller Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014.
In the court filing on Monday, Judge
Richard A. Hertling said all five requirements for class certification
were met, one of which was that the class is "sufficiently numerous."
The original lawsuit was filed in July
2018 by three retirees in the union pension fund, which proposed to
represent a class of 22,000 retirees in the fund who had started
receiving reduced benefits on Oct. 1, 2017.
The Treasury Department
had approved the pension fund's MPRA application because less than 50%
of participants voted against the action. The law requires a "no" vote
of more than 50% to stop a benefit reduction action. While 9,788
participants voted against the plan and only 4,081 voted for it, another
20,767 did not vote, leaving only 28.26% of the total vote opposed.
At the time of approval, New York
State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund was the third
multiemployer fund to receive approval for benefit cuts. As of Jan. 1,
2020, the fund had $1.54 billion in assets and $2.73 billion in
liabilities for a funding ratio of 56.4%, according to its most recent
Form 5500 filing. Three years earlier, before the Treasury Department
approved the benefit cuts, the plan's funding ratio was 37.8%.
The U.S. Court of Federal Claims in
Washington hears claims of regulatory takings by the federal government.
The lawsuit is asking that the federal government reimburse the
retirees for 29% benefit cuts.
"The Court of Federal Claims tends to
be clear-eyed and thoughtful about whether a taking occurred. The
government authorized a pension plan to withhold my clients' money and
to give it to people other than them. That's a taking," said Noah
Messing, plaintiff counsel from Messing & Spector, in a July 2018
interview. Mr. Messing could not be immediately reached for further
comment.

LETS REFRESH....
(A)IN 2010 OUR UNION CRIMINAL SYNDICATES FAILED ONCE AGAIN TO SECURE A TAXPAYER BAILOUT OF UNION PENSION FUNDS SO THEY COULD CONTINUE TO LOOT AND MISMANAGE UNION PENSION FUNDS.THE CASEY POMEROY BILL FAILED AND OUR UNIONS WERE TOLD TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES.OUR UNIONS THEN WENT TO PLAN B.ROB THEIR OWN RETIREES
(B) FROM 2011-2013 A GROUP OF UNION RATS CALLED THE NCCMP SAT DOWN AND WROTE AND FINANCED THE 2014 MUTLI EMPLOYER REFORM ACT AND WHAT WOULD BECOME THE GROW ACT.
DESPITE REPEATEDLY LYING IN MANY PUBIC FORUMS AND TO FEDERAL AGENCIES THE NCCMP IS AN ARM OF THE AFL-CIO BUILDING TRADES. TO HIDE WHO THEY REALLY ARE THE NCCMP CLAIMS TO BE A PENSION REFORM AND EDUCATIONAL GROUP.
BS!!!THE NCCMP PRESIDENT IS AFL-CIO RAT SEAN MCGARVEY AND ALL THEIR BOARD MEMBERS ARE UNION INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENTS AND OFFICERS.THEIR EMPLOYEES RECEIVE AFL-CIO PENSIONS
CLICK ON ALL PHOTOS TO ENLARGE
THESE ARE THE SAME RATS WHO HAVE DECIDED TO TANK DEFINED BENEFIT FUNDS AND REPLACE THEM WITH THE NEW BS VARIABLE PENSION MODEL.GOOGLE THE "WORLD PENSION ALLIANCE"
READ IT HERE
(C) THE UNION CRIMINAL SYNDICATES GATHERED ALL THEIR BOUGHT AND PAID FOR CORRUPT POLITICAL HACKS LIKE JOHN KLINE AND GEORGE MILLER TO GET THIS BS ATTACHED TO THE OMNIBUS BILL.MULTIPLE FEDERAL AGENCIES CONSPIRED WITH THESE UNION RATS TO SUPPORT AND PROMOTE THIS BS
JOHN KLINES FAMOUS WORDS WERE
"George
Miller knew that Democrats would not vote for a law that allowed cuts
to pension checks of those already retired and Kline admitted "It would
not be possible if we’d waited until after the new Congress was sworn
in:" So that focused the effort to working on it in the lame duck
session". Meaning they were going to back door it and defraud the
American worker.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID
ALSO INVOLVED IN THIS BACKDOOR FRAUD WERE
SEC OF LABOR PEREZ, NANCY PELOSI,
GEORGE MILLER, JOHN KLINE, PAUL RYAN AND EARL POMEROY.
EX UBC EMPLOYEE AND UBC HIRED FARM HAND CHRISTOPHER HEINZ STATED "MPRA WAS THE WORST PIECE OF LEGISLATION WE GOT PASSED"
BUT WE WILL GET TO UBC RAT CHRIS HEINZ IN A MOMENT
FOR THE RECORD GEORGE MILLER IS NOW A LOBBYIST FOR UNION CRIMINAL SYNDICATES INCLUDING THE UBC.THIS IS AFTER HE TOOK OUT UNION EMPLOYEES AT CENAGE LEARNING AND SENT THEIR JOBS OVERSEAS
GM Strategies LLC
AND JUST TO GET A FEEL FOR THE UNION LOW LIFE RATS WHO WROTE MPRA... THE LEGISLATION CONTAINED LANGUAGE THAT ALLOWED THE UNIONS TO CHOSE THE REQUIRED RETIREE REPRESENTATIVE.INSTEAD OF A PERSON WHO WAS TO LOOK OUT FOR RETIREES THEY APPOINTED RATS THAT SCREWED RETIREES AND DID EXACTLY AS THE UNION/FUND TOLD THEM TO DO
THE LEGISLATION ALSO INCLUDED LANGUAGE THAT RETIREES PARTICIPATE IN SHAM "CUT MY PENSION CHECK" VOTES.A VOTE NOT HELD BY TREASURY BUT BY THE UNIONS/FUNDS
IT ALSO DECLARED THAT ANY FUND PARTICIPANT WHO DID NOT GET TO VOTE VOTE IN FOR WHAT EVER REASON THEIR VOTE WAS COUNTED AS A YES VOTE IN SUPPORT OF CUTS
THIS BS WAS WRITTEN BY OUR UNIONS TO SCREW UNION RETIREES!!!
(D) AFTER GETTING MPRA ON THE BOOKS OUR UNIONS USED IT TO ROB UNION RETIREES AND ROB THEIR PENSION CHECK.THOUSANDS OF UNION RETIREES HAD THEIR PENSION CHECKS SLASHED BY THEIR OWN UNIONS.UNION RETIREES LOST THEIR HOMES,WERE UNABLE TO PAY FOR MEDICATION OR MEDICAL COVERAGE AND MANY WERE FINANCIALLY RUINED
THEY THEN "THREATENED" TO CUT THE PENSIONS OF THE 400,000 TEAMSTER CENTRAL STATES FUND IN THE NEAR FUTURE.THAT PLOY WORKED AND THE TAXPAYERS ARE RIGHT NOW ABOUT TO GIVE THE CENTRAL STATES CROOKS A NO PAYBACK $35 BILLION BAILOUT WITH TAXPAYERS MONEY SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO LOOT AND MISMANAGE THE FUND
THERE’S NOTHING EQUITABLE IN UNION PENSION BAILOUTS
These never-before in U.S. history, no-strings-attached taxpayer bailouts of
private multiemployer or union pension plans are part of the American
Rescue Plan—despite the fact that this decadeslong problem has nothing
to do with COVID-19

SPEAKING OF DOUGLAS MCSCUMBAG
ONE OF THE FIRST TO PURSUE CUTS WAS THE SOUTHWEST OHIO REGIONAL COUNCIL OF
CARPENTERS PENSION PLAN EIN 316127287
WHOSE COUNCIL AND PENSION FUND WERE SEIZED AND TANKED BY YET ANOTHER OF DIRTY DOUG MCCARRONS FORCED MERGERS
"UBC
General President McCarron dissolved the Ohio and Vicinity Regional
Council of Carpenters (OVRCC) and merged it with the Indiana/Kentucky
Regional Council of Carpenters (IKRCC), thereby forming the new
Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters (IKORCC). (Doc. 32,
§ 1, p. 6). This merger was accomplished by a "military style assault"
on the OVRCC's offices in Cleveland, Ohio"
IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF ERISA MCCARRON SENT CHRIS HEINZ TO DIRECT THESE TRUSTEES TO DO NOTHING TO REPAIR THE FUND.HE TOLD THEM THE UNION WRITTEN MPRA WAS ABOUT TO BE PASSED AND TO USE IT TO CUT UBC RETIREES PENSION CHECKS.THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID
2013
In June, the Board of Trustees met with Chris Heinz, who served as a legislative consultant to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. Mr. Heinz was then seeking legislative relief from the United States Congress to permit pension plans to reduce accrued benefits of participants and retirees in pay status. The Plan authorized Mr. Heinz to use the Plan's funding situation and identity to demonstrate the utility of a legislative fix.
2013
The Plan again met with Chris Heinz of Grossman Heinz to receive updates about possible relief pursuant to the report prepared by the National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans ("NCCMP"). There was some hope that the recommendations could be introduced during the fall of 2013.At each Board of Trustee meeting, the Trustees dedicated significant time towards consideration of benefit suspensions, as well as alternative plan designs such as variable defined benefit plans
2014
At the end of the year, the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014 was passed and signed into law.
