No. Retirees have earned their benefit and cannot lose it. Federal law also ensures that any benefits you’ve earned to date cannot be eliminated.

Would this impact on current retirees?

Comment on New parking rules another legal violation by Guild Fan

I don’t understand, why are they towing cars? Isn’t it the employees’ parking lot? Did I miss something here? Are they afraid some people will SNEAK INTO THE LOT to go to the library, or to grab a Burrito at Moe’s? Or have a union rally or something????? What is next? Frankly, I don’t think I wanna know. Thanks to the Guild for keeping us up on what is going on down there, and Tim, ya might want to see if this shipwreck qualifies as a NEW REALITY TV SHOW!

I don’t get this at all. I don’t understand the need for parking regulations, especially now that we have fewer workers. Also, how can we be expected to say what hours we will be in the lot? What if our shift is changed for a day?

Also, I hope the Guild continues to seek relief from the courts and/or the NLRB every time the company moves a quarter of an inch from the law. I think a lot of us have had it with their arrogance.
