Because the was the agreement when the employee was hired. If I hired
you
and said I would pay you $10.00/hr and then handed you your first week
paycheck and only paid you $9.00/hr how would you feel about that?

I'd feel like telling them to live up to their agreements or I'd take a
walk.

Since only real estate transactions need be in writing, and even dinky
jobs
often have written stipulations (not a formal contract, but a written
statement), in many states that would be a violation of state law. In
any
case, why would someone be willing to work for such folks?


And taking a walk is all good and fine if you find out they screwed you
over after a week. But after 20 years just going to work for the
competition isn't going to help you much.

If it takes you 20 years to figure that out, then you're pretty much
helpless.

Matt, Are you just being an asshole for the fun of it. The post that I
posted my original reply to was one that asked the question of why the
carrier had an obligation to pay the pension. I compared it to the $10 $9
example.

If I work somewhere for 20 years and during that entire time they promise
me a pension after 20 years yes I expect them to pay it.
Remember no one will take care of your money you have to do it yourself.
