Recovery time: An article from: Credit Union Management
Thursday, May 8th, 2008
While armed robbery can never be totally avoided, even if all precautions are taken, severity of the post-robbery stress staff suffers can be reduced with good risk management. Responsibility for that risk management rests ultimately on the CEO’s shoulders, with support of the board and other management. CEOs create an environment that lessens three underlying causes of trauma - guilt, fear, and a sense of being out of control - by assuring the credit union has more than adequate robbery prevention measures, recording devices and staff preparedness training. Yet, simply providing a safer environment and better training is not enough. A CEO’s dedication to helping minimize trauma is never more important than in the 48 hours immediately after a violent act.

Pension Dumping: The Reasons, the Wreckage, the Stakes for Wall Street
Friday, May 2nd, 2008 
Pension plans in America no longer represent commitments that financially troubled companies will honor. Neither bankruptcy courts, nor Washington, nor unions have the clout to make them do so. The disposition of these plans is instead left to serve the needs of big investors. Often these investors are a company’s best hope of restructuring after bankruptcy. Investors want a lean investment unburdened with financial promises to employees no longer on the payroll. Despite laws passed to discourage the termination of plans, the courts allow it, caving in to the forces garnered to reinvigorate a failing company. Unions are often compelled to choose between the financial welfare of retirees and jobs for active workers.
This book explains in shocking detail how terminating the pension plan became a knee-jerk strategy for bankrupt companies that hope to attract big investors to help them reorganize.
