The point of having "C" plan is that portion is a replacement for the stolen pension.

The company received a perpetual windfall when pension obligations went out the window.

It may only be symbolic, but we all need to remember, and let new hires know, why it is there. So when the company comes asking for a reduction in percentage some day, we can remind them of why exactly that will not go down as long as I work here.
