The Company is still pushing its retrogressive demands on pensions, healthcare, disability and absence and is still refusing to discuss any of the issues facing our current Retirees.

Over the weekend the Company rejected our proposal for a pension increase and made no modification to their original proposal to freeze our pensions and push all new hires into 401Ks.

Today the Union proposed an additional pension improvement to expand service pension eligibility (eligibility for retiree benefits) to those with 15 years of service who are 60 years old.

Today the Union again rejected the Company's plan to freeze our pensions and force new hires to rely solely on a 401k.

In addition to a sub-committee to discuss health care, our time at the table was again spent mainly on job security.
