[QUOTE="Oldfart, post: 2480560, member: 64407"] Name 1 company today that isn't undergoing cost cutting measures. The BIG 4 automakers are a perfect example. Today's newhires are under a different payscale than older workers. Ford is moving jobs to Mexico and making changes in Louisville. I believe Toyota might make more cars in America than the DOMESTIC brands do. The Dow Company I used as an example. John Deer, Intl Harvester, Goodyear, all of them are UNION companies are changing pay scales and benefit packages. Today's climate is way different than it was 10 years ago. If you don't make changes and watch expenses, you will wind up like Sears, Woolco, TG &Y, American Apperal, American Motors. You can't live in the past. You better plan for the future or you might be in the unemployment line. Just glance at the UPS forums. They are making changes to their benefits as well. Offering lump sum pension buyouts. No longer covering a spouse that has health insurance. It happens. [/QUOTE]
