If it weren't allowed the same six tedious loons would probably try to decertify the union.

I'm surprised they haven't had the B&G shut down over the rest of us having been given the option to filter out their relentless political twaddle. I guess that's not as offensive since they just drag their politics into every other thread.

Not entirely on topic, but what are the rough numbers for mandatory retirements over the next 5-10 years? Just wondering how long it would take to build some seniority/job security based on no growth.

Our average retirement age the last 5 years is about 62.5, so the above numbers are likely to be 50%ish higher.

Speak for yourself! I plan to retire several times. One pension just ain’t enough

Many of us value retiree opinions, as they have lived this life far longer than most of us. They paid their dues so should be allowed to participate on the forum.

Then we wonder why we are destined to repeat the mistakes of the past...

Of all the dumb things I've read on the b and g, eliminating or restricting retirees may be the dumbest.

That of course does not take into consideration anything BK posts. He'd set that record on a daily basis if counted.

The retirees can and do say many things on the Bar & Grill that a current line guy could get fired for. They are highly useful to pass information without retribution from the company.
