====================
DURING DRAW DOWN RETIREES PENSION INCOME REDUCED
Decisions to cut retirees' monthly income were made and signed by Aer Lingus/Daa/SAA company boards/shareholders and Trustees and approved by Irish Pension Authority following Industrial Relations negotiations between Employers, Trade Unions and State.
One third of IASS occupational pension scheme members, with average of 72 years, [in 2015], were targeted for exclusion for benefit reduction mitigation.
They is no voice at the table for retirees in receipt of pension where these decisions to reduce IASS retirees' income were made
These are retroactive changes!!
It can happen again!!!!
