So you're an auto worker: Chances are, you're a member of a union; that union plays a large role in negotiating and administering your pension plan; and your pension could be running on empty.
According to an Oct. 25 article in Bloomberg, "Most analysts agree that the automakers are headed in the same direction as bankrupt airlines, steelmakers and other old-line manufacturing companies unless a plan is devised to shrink their liabilities or pay them."
So if you haven't done so already, you should contact your union representative to find out what is being done to protect your pension.
