SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CARPENTERS LOSE $333,209,035.00 MILLION
THIS YEAR ON BAD STOCK INVESTMENTS

Bad management by our Pension Fund Trustees and Investment Advisor has lost us $333,209,035.00 from our pension fund this year.

As with other Carpenters Pension Funds, our pension fund is now undefended.  We have gotten no raises, not even a cost of living for 22 years.

Our pension funds pay less than welfare in many cases.

The attached chart shows how much we lost.  The information on stocks comes from our 1999 5500 Report (tax return).
