Hot News on Old JM Pension Case =========================================================== |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hot Meeting on Wednesday May 5, 2001 Wednesday May 2, was a memorable day when ex jm employees turned out in large numbers to show that they were not going to take a six for a nine from government. "We want our our pension money they declared. They came united and had their spokespersons who spoke quite eloquently on their behalf. The pilots though, had concerns about accepting a part of the funds and this opinion was shared by others. The pilots felt that the members should be allowed to show their support as to whether persons would take a part of their money from government and then receive the rest later. Some said they would accept that if it would not be taxed. A vote was not allowed on this. |

IT'S NOW MARCH 2001 AND THE MEMBERS ARE ASKING MANY QUESTIONS Well, February has come and gone and not withstanding all the positive position of many, we still have not received our funds. It's no use we continue to speculate nor to consider this money when me make our plans. The members continue to ask many questions.Can someone let us know if the Trustees have the current names and addresses for the over 4000 people who are to benefit? After the trustees have ascertained how much each member is to receive, are they going to send out statements to each member so that each member can check the figures before payment is done? |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Are the trustees required to prepare a statement of account prior to and after payments have been made to the members? What will happen to the funds for those who are dead and have left no wills? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
