Wayne,
I don't know about up there but they are starting to cut the benefits of the retired people now. Other companies have done it for a long time. The telephone company cut out most of theirs a couple of years ago. I saw an article where GM and the union has also agreed to freeze the next round of wage and benefit increases. If the union has finally realized just how bad things are, it has to be bad. I am not a fan of unions and have never been. They did a good thing long ago, but in this day and age, with a few exceptions they are just a dinosaur collecting money.
