A Union in trouble
Union President gets big award and discounted health coverage while rank and file Members and Pensioners get the short end.

"Those who went before us built this industry - they built it with their patriotism, their sweat, and their tears. For them, we must be ever mindful of this obligation. We cannot, and we will not, let them down."

<snip>

".......A number of Pensioners will be priced out of obtaining healthcare though their Union. Mr. Davis' own post-retirement Medical costs however, are protected by a cap insuring he will pay a lower percentage even than the base line 6%"
