[QUOTE="Cowboy Mac, post: 5515277, member: 59074"] Good point about the retirees. I’m sure there is a way to make sure they get their fair share after all those years. Maybe there is viable option other than what I described. My whole thing is that the pension is not enough, especially under the Central States. All these lazy drivers who take layoffs and work 2 days a week will one day draw from the pension (if it’s still there) while they did not contribute their fair share by showing up to work. The pensions are failing and had to be bailed out by the government. We’re about to ask for more money in pension payouts for retirees without stopping the bleeding first. And it’s all with the mindset of the the company can afford it, and the government will bail us out again if it fails. Free money. This is flawed thinking and being a bad neighbor to the rest of the people in this country who just paid for us to retire. [/QUOTE]
