[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 3630748, member: 37112"] Pensions don't need to pay for anyone "closer" to retirement. It's a paper obligation until retirement and then pay status doesn't begin until application. But of course, blame unions for companies/government actions? Before the effects of deregulation took hold, the CSPF once had over 1700 freight companies participating. Wanna guess how many are left? Count your fingers on one hand. Now guess how many of those good corporate citizens paid off their obligations in full before they closed the doors or more likely changed the name on their doors and reopened. Ever hear of XPO/Conway/Consolidated Freight. See how easily Hostess went away and reemerged sans debt? No union proposed deregulation. No union suggested double breasting operations to escape pension obligations. No union backed Bush's first piece of legislation allowing the easing of corporate bankruptcy laws (while tightening personal bankruptcy). [/QUOTE]
