The Union didn't want to let the company take it over.  The bottom line is if the Teamsters Union wouldn't have made a big stink over it those of us with our heads on the chopping block now would be ok.  As it is, the way I understand it, with a snap of their fingers in 2016 two thirds of our pension is gone. No matter how well you planned for retirement that will hurt.</blockquote>
