Subject: Stop United Airlines Management from Terminating Our Pensions!
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
United Airlines senior management has attacked our wages, benefits and work rules; they've attacked our retirees; and now they've attacked our pensions. Yet, they have failed to accomplish what employees have been working to achieve - a successful exit from bankruptcy.
Senior management has squandered the extraordinary contributions of employees to the financial and operational turnaround that should have returned United Airlines to its former position as one of the world's pre-eminent airlines.
United Airlines still has some of the highest non-labor costs in the industry. Instead of reviewing these costs and concentrating on a workable and fair business plan, this management continues to create plans that further attack the people who make the airline run.
I have sacrificed in the area of my wages, work rules, healthcare and pension as part of $13 billion in labor cost savings for the success of United Airlines. These sacrifices have reduced my ability to plan for a secure retirement. I cannot afford to sacrifice more, and I cannot afford to lose the ability to earn my defined benefit pension.
Do not let United Airlines management dump its responsibility and terminate my pension. Please express your disapproval to United Airlines CEO Glenn Tilton about his decision to skip contractually and legally required employee pension payments, making termination of the plans likely.
Thank you for your prompt and critical attention to this matter potentially affecting millions of American workers.
Sincerely,
|
