If they're smart, they'll leave. The company has already shown what its
word is worth. Would you work for someone that broke promises to pay
you?


My dad worked there for 24 years. They laid him off before he could
retire,
but he was promised his pension when he reached retirement age. Too late
for to "leave."

Are you saying my father isn't "smart"? Are you saying that company
loyalty
and hard work isn't smart?

Well the infomation that UAL was not funding the pension obligation was/is
readily availible in Uniteds SEC filings. Personally if I was depending on
someone/something to send me money for decades, I would verify that the
money was there. The reality is that this might be too much to expect from
individual employees, but there is no excuse for the unions not demanding
that the pension plans be funded.
