[quote=JohnAlt91941]Don’t you think those pensions were exceptional for the time? I don’t know anyone who was in line to get that level of retirement benefit in that era from a non government employer.[/quote]
Not exceptional if you had a large employer.
Yes if you worked for smaller companies.
I have family members who worked in non-union jobs at large companies who all have/had pensions. GM, Lexmark,
Locally GA offeres a pension according to their website… so it’s still available.
