I can’t speak for MEBA, but know a fairly significant change was made in early 2000"s by new leadership under Mr Doell to bump up pension and welfare " Fundability " issues. . They, as well as many other unions were notified by the then government powers that be that they were drastically underfunded. AMO has more than addressed that issue over the last 20 years., My decent pension check has never been late or reduced. Nor has health insurance coverage for my family. Not selling any union, but one would do well to see how their particular plans are funded.You will see that SIU is well over 100%… They do things a little different as compared to officers unions.
