| Abstract: | The author of the complaint alleges discrimination entailed in a collective bargaining agreement. Pre-1992 retirees were not to receive the retirement benefit that post-1992 retirees would. They do not get the raise in salary that active employees and post-jan, 1992 retirees would. He states that the different treatment between active and retired employees and between pre-January-1992-retirees and post-January-1992-retirees was not based on reasonable and objective criteria, as the groups of persons concerned find themselves in a comparable situation with regard to their income and they face the very same economic and social conditions. |
