O.K. Thanks, I didn't want to type this long article by hand. It came in an email but I don't know who wrote it. It's very critical of the interview with Williams. It states that for the union VEBA is a giant slush fund that it can utilize to finance bloated bureaucracy which is very important to UAW executives who expect an exodus of disgusted dues paying members at expiration of contract. The present retiree VEBA is funded by us through cola give backs the last two contracts. President Williams and the entire team negotiating the current contract, Norwood Jewell {FCA}, James Settles {Ford}, and Cindy Estrada {GM} collect $30,000.00 a year as trustees of the fund, padding their already bloated six figure salaries from the UAW and their seats on various corporate boards and corporatist programs.If a " super veba were established the UAW would have an even greater incentive to reduce our benefits Rather than fighting the companies for benefits we'd be fighting our union.Under Obamacare a special tax on "Cadillac" health plans that cost more than $10,200 for singles and $27,500 for families. Either the tax will be shifted to the workers or the UAW will cut benefits to a point where the tax no longer applies.This will translate into a drastic reduction in medications, procedures and tests available to us and our families. It will mean, in short, that we will suffer with more health problems and die sooner. Thanks Bill and Dennis. So proud to be a union represented employee and part of the "Ford Family".
