Comments on: COLA for federal Employees http://blog.corre.info/2007/11/11/about-the-cola-for-federal-employees/ --discussing pensions and benefits of Oak Ridge retired employees Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:19:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Al Brooks http://blog.corre.info/2007/11/11/about-the-cola-for-federal-employees/#comment-53 Al Brooks Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:32:43 +0000 http://blog.corre.info/2007/11/11/about-the-cola-for-federal-employees/#comment-53 Another informative article by Stephen Barr who has written before on pensions, see: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/21/AR2007032101978.html It certainly shows the extent to which government agencies can discriminate against retirees. In a very real sense our pensions are paid by the government,and governed by agency policies and actions, and thus are a 'government pension'. I sent Barr a summary of our problems and Internet references to the whole ball of wax. Just maybe he will mention us sometime.
