| Pension Dumping: The Reasons, the Wreckage, the Stakes for Wall Street by Bloomberg Press Pensions! | | This is a great book! You need to read it whether you're already retired, thinking about retirement, or retiring in the far future. Lots of important info for all. | | Pension Dumping: The Reasons, the Wreckage, the Stakes for Wall Street by Bloomberg Press Product Description | Pension plans in America no longer represent commitments that financially troubled companies will honor. Neither bankruptcy courts, nor Washington, nor unions have the clout to make them do so. The disposition of these plans is instead left to serve the needs of big investors. Often these investors are a company's best hope of restructuring after bankruptcy. Investors want a lean investment unburdened with financial promises to employees no longer on the payroll. Despite laws passed to discourage the termination of plans, the courts allow it, caving in to the forces garnered to reinvigorate a failing company. Unions are often compelled to choose between the financial welfare of retirees and jobs for active workers.
This book explains in shocking detail how terminating the pension plan became a knee-jerk strategy for bankrupt companies that hope to attract big investors to help them reorganize. |
