[tomyj retired-maybe?]

When I joined UNITED in 1969 I signed a contract that I would be at work on time ,I would do the job as requested,and receive days off as needed (24/7).United in return would pay me in money (greenbacks)and benefits (health care,life insurance,and a pension when I retired). Now that management has driven the airline into bankruptcy they no longer want to HONOR their contract that we both signed. Is this breach of Contract???
If the courts allow this,all the other U.S. Airlines will follow and the TAXPAYERS will be required to bail out the government insurance board (remember the savings and loan deal)

All the time I worked, I thought I had the same agreement. I even thought the company set up an annuity for each retiree. I was surprised to learn when I retired that the plan will pay as long as the company is in business. I am glad I also saved in the 401K program. No one should plan retirement on anything except their own savings.

Which is why President Bush's SS plan should be seriously looked at by the younger workers, and why older workers should not even have a vote in the matter. Oh, and the SS plan provides an annuity so it is better than the present SS plan. (I do not know why this is so hard to explain.)
