Yes how has the union helped you in any problems since you retired? They didn't do shit for me three month's after I retired and had a problem.



Once you stop paying dues they cease to care. I had huge problems with my health insurance and they were totally useless.




Nope I was still an active employee when it was filed.


Are you now? Nope. So go fuck yourself and any hope of getting your $150,000, you would've probably had a better chance of hiring a labor lawyer and giving them half. You are retired now and pay no dues, you're lucky if they even remember your name.

Same with myself and my pension which I've told the story before.



Ok, opened the app, it says Im making .2% on the first money I put in there..


Went to Hell for over 39 years

So bite me.


You could've quit anytime asshole.

VMFXX ?



Pls remember, I am the literal definition of dumb truck driver..


Is the money in a brokerage account and being automatically being moved into the sweep (VMFXX)? I just opened an account there and just said sweep instead of VMFXX. Maybe my account hasn't fully updated yet though.

.2 or .3 sounds about right for just a month though

And you're asking people here about your finances? Oh boy.

Union rep told me once "when you retire, you are dead to us".

I'm actually surprised some buyout passed over Teamster hasn't filled suit yet.

Exactly.

There is actually a very good reason there isn’t going to be a lawsuit or not one that has real impact. It’s very very difficult almost impossible for a lawsuit against a union representing a bargaining unit member and said member filing to win.

it is very difficult for an individual to sue a labor union because the law sets an extremely high legal bar and a strict time limit for these claims. [1, 2]

The High Legal Standard

To win a lawsuit against a union for failing to handle a grievance, an employee must prove a breach of the "Duty of Fair Representation" (DFR). As noted by Avvo, β€œIt is not enough to show that the union did not do a good job. You have to prove that the union's actions were either arbitrary, discriminatory, or in bad faith.” Poor judgment, ordinary negligence, or simple mistakes by a union representative are not enough to win. [1, 2, 3]

Strict Filing Deadlines

According to legal consensus on Avvo, there is a β€œsix-month statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit against a union for breach of its duty of fair representation.”

This short window applies whether filing a lawsuit in federal court or filing an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board. Missing this deadline usually results in immediate dismissal. [1, 2, 3]

Key Practical Hurdles

  • Federal Preemption: Federal labor laws block many standard state-law claims against unions, limiting the legal options available to workers. [1, 2]

  • Hybrid Requirements: When suing over a contract dispute, workers often have to prove both that the employer broke the collective bargaining agreement and that the union actively sabotaged or ignored the grievance.[1, 2]

  • Resource Imbalance: Labor unions possess institutional funding and specialized legal counsel, making individual litigation financially and logistically daunting



Ya, I did 50k to Vanguard, but I haven't done anything with it yet.. like designated where it should go.

Does leaving a job mean that one's employer is no longer responsible for its past aggrievements?




Yes theyare responsible
