ProtectSeniors.org Op-ed by Chairman Bill Jones

An excellent op-ed was published by Fort Worth’s Star-Telegram in late October, written by C. William Jones, the Chairman of ProtectSeniors.org.  The piece focused on the pension de-risking crisis facing today’s retirees.  Plano, Texas based J.C. Penney was the latest company to join the de-risking bandwagon, offering both lump-sum buyouts and transferring it pension obligations to 43,000 retirees buy purchasing a group annuity contract.
