Re: Insurance-Aloca-Reynolds

Well how does everybody react to the Raise in Rates for your insurance? At first with Reynolds most of it was given as a retirement incentive. After several years after Alcoa took over the free ride was dropped with no warning. Alcoa even went back several yrs adjusting bills with the Dr. and Hospitals. Our Medigap was then a pay situation. This yr it jumped to almost a hundred dollars more. Figure a salaried person's pension and that is a pretty good percentage that is taken. Pretty good for Alcoa since they are doing quite well right now. Doesn't seem quite right to me.

Well you are excused. I am retired on a medical since thee early 90's. Alcoa bought Reynolds and then Wise bought from Alcoa. Sorry Freestate I would much rather be healthy. I am thankful for the health I have. It is sure expensive for a minimum income. I appreciate your concern and you have a good day. Oh and by the way I am not Union, I was salaried employee.

To be technically correct, Wise bought the Alloys plant, and then later Alcoa bought the remainder of Reynolds Metals. Alcoa tried to buy the Alloys plant from Reynolds and there plans were to shut it down, but the justice department denied the sale. Had they allowed the sale to Alcoa all of us at the plant would have gotten plant closing benefits and been much better off. But it didn't happen. Quit your whining and move on.

I really can't believe you just posted this. You are some what correct on how things happened. But, do you believe this area is better off if the plant closed or was this just a personal gain for you?

And what I said is not "some what correct", it is correct, Wise bought the plant from Reynolds Metals not Alcoa.
