PartyTime: Thanks for your vote of confidence. What grates me is that my comments are based on fact. I personally participated in 50- to 60-plus bargaining sessions in the 1990s with the corporate suits. I ain't making this stuff up. These ain't "what-if" scenarios. The corporate assholes went after my pension plan not to improve the retirement benefits of the common working man and common working woman, but to put $1.5 million in pension plan overfunding into their hip pocket and, in turn, earn some fat individual bonuses. Those that take potshots at me don't have a clue about what really goes on in a labor-management setting. They have some pollyanna view of corporate America that is heavy on fiction but short on fact.
