I left there in 2001, but the plethora of legal paperwork I signed as a condition of employment keeps me cautious. Another trick they pull is to litigate, then delay, in court actions. They terminated a bunch of retiree benefits; the folks in question sued, and it was dragged out in court, for seven years. The day before trial, they settled, but by that time, a large portion of the affected retirees had passed away, and the original terms of retirement specifically stated that benefits terminated, upon death, so the heirs were S.O.L.
I’ve never been in the park, since I stopped working there, myself.
The heirs should have received the back payments, unless those were excluded from the settlement. If they were excluded, there are some attorneys that got away with malpractice.
