You stop the pension plan and buy out the senior employees as you can. In fact 80zedder stated in another thread that some of the GM layoffs you read about in the news is GM doing just that. :flag2::flag2::flag2:

That definitely wouldn't be the popular thing to do, and I'm sure there are a couple people on this board who either get that pension, or have family/friends who do. That being said, GM has to be viable, and because of their generosity in the past, they are not.
