Government’s Favorable Treatment of Teamsters Stinks

Trump spent $700MM bailing out Yellow to preserve Teamster jobs during Covid— that’s $23,000  per person.
 
The Teamster Central States Pension Fund (TCSP)  bailout was far more than the Pension Guarantee would have paid:  $100K per member of the fund.  
 
What will happen to TSCP now that Yellow is dead?
  • 360,000 participants 
  • Only 45,000 are still working (not sure if this is before or after Yellow shut down)
  • 22,000 teamsters lost their jobs at Yellow.

More bailouts?
