When each one of these companies sells out to another does that mean that the contract has to be negotiated and if so do these other firms have any interest in the pension plan? If these other firms have no interest in the pension plan then why did they split us off from UCRP at all? What benefit was it to any of the workers? This entire privatizing is mind boggling. Can any one please explain it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28220200.post-76599493019695695072007-05-30T16:50:00.000-06:002007-05-30T16:50:00.000-06:00From the Los Alamos Monitor (May 30, 2007), Roger ...From the Los Alamos Monitor (May 30, 2007), Roger Snodgrass... <BR/><BR/>"In an e-mail Tuesday, Greg Mello of the Los Alamos Study Group, an arms control organization, pointed out that two of URS' principal shareholders are Richard Blum, husband of Sen.
