Union-Tribune Employees Camp Out All Night in Lobby To Be First in Line To Get Buyout Forms
I hope you're wrong, tnt. How many lawsuits will this trigger? My own recent contacts with U-T HR about this have been a stone wall. Thanks for sharing the information. And keep us informed.— September 10, 2008 9:35 p.m.

#19: Interesting (and maybe plausible) scenario. I know for a fact that at least some of the buyout agreements at Copley's Midwest papers were guaranteed by the individual papers, not Copley. But these obligations were not transferred to GateHouse in the sale and became Copley's obligations. #20: The Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation should be involved in protecting the pension fund. Not sure it would cover all obligations dollar for dollar, though. The pension should be a lot safer than other benefits, though.— September 4, 2008 5:57 p.m.

Don, Regarding the extended medical benefits I mentioned in #7, I wasn't referring to the latest buyout, but rather to those in early 2007 and before, around the time Copley was selling off its Midwest papers. Some of the buyouts at that time were at Midwest papers.— September 3, 2008 9:56 a.m.

Don, I have heard that many of the Copley buyout "victims" of the past few years were offered extended (like until age 65) medical benefits. Any idea what might happen to those promises? One other question: Is The Copley Press selling the U-T? Or is The Copley Press selling The Copley Press? News stories on this have been rather vague. Might The Copley Press (and what's the difference between that and David Copley?) continue to exist as David's personal piggy bank?— September 2, 2008 11:12 p.m.
