He neglected 800,000 retired workers and their dependents. You guys are clearly playing funny with the numbers (lying) to support a false position.

It is still part of labor cost. It is still part of what employees, whether current or former, earned. And frankly, most of those costs have been accrued as incurred (i.e., when the former employees were working) by now.

If you are going to arbitrarily lop off certain labor costs and and not account for them, then how the hell are you going to compare one business with another within the industry.

It is basic accounting.
