After layoffs and two hour commutes to save my job, I am facing a pension cut that I don’t deserve. Sometimes working conditions were difficult given cold, icy conditions. I saw a man die when he was pinned between two trailers, many times it was the promise of a pension that kept me going. Shortly after I retired Consolidated Freightways folded. Now I find out that leaves me an “orphan”. I am a victim of my circumstances and I fear that I won’t be able to keep my full pension because of this orphan status. I put in my time and had no control over what CF did. I did not in any way contribute to CF closing and going to a non-union truck line known as Conway. I may soon pay a terrible price for their actions.
