The company stole their pension and gutted their retirement medical benefits. The amount of cash they (and we) will have to pony up after retirement for medical coverage alone is significant and is forecast to increase dramatically.
They simply can't afford to retire unless they have other income or wealth. And some wonder why the over 60 crowd didn't leave.
