What do you do for a living.

Seriously, that's tough work, and the kind of work that made this country what it is today. Sorry to hear you were screwed out of a well deserved pension. That is terrible.

Still have the pension at present, but in danger. The company I worked for has played their little games. Bought and sold, mergers, all that shit that makes millions for a few. Now the "company" that is supposed to pay my benefits is going bankrupt. All the millions they made have disappeared into some crook's pocket. No money left to pay their former employees.

Without getting political, and this board is certainly not the place for that, this is precisely the kind of crap that has angered so many people into looking in the direction of candidates for president we could hardly have imagined even 5years ago. Big middle finger votes for the status quo. Good luck.

They underfunded the pension over time? Did they possibly fund it as required by law? If if the company declares bankruptcy the pension should still have assets.
