You also refused to make any changes to your offer of October 5, which included completely washing your hands of your legal and moral obligations to 30,000 retirees and surviving spouses by setting up a trust fund that will run out of money in a few years, leaving people who worked a lifetime building this Company with nothing. Based on your statements, be advised that the Union is prepared to return to the bargaining table as soon as the Company informs us that it is prepared to make a proposal that provides security to all steelworker factories and if you insist on using a trust to provide retiree health care, fund it with enough resources so that current employees can expect to receive benefits consistent with the existing program when they retire retire v. 1) to stop working at one's occupation. 2) to pay off a promissory note, and thus "retire" the loan. 3) for a jury to go into the jury room to decide on a verdict after all evidence, argument and jury instructions have been completed. .
Sincerely,
