No, they just froze their pensions as opposed to terminating them. I wonder whose retirees are happier?
On that note I think the one of the biggest things we can do to move our respective careers along and all those 60 + out the door is improve outrageously expensive retiree medical plans. I hope if we offer another PRIP it comes with medical benefits to 65 and we'll all be moving up a seat.
Pay raises are a must in the next contract, but a higher paying seat and career progression will net you more in the long run
