My wife's uncle worked for the city of Detroit for 30+ years as a dispatcher. He was forced to retire back in the early 70's and they took his pension! All due to city finance problems. So, left out in the cold by the Great City of Detroit after giving 30 years of his life and in his late 50's or 60's, he moved out to Grant's NM and was lucky to find a job with Anaconda mines as a dispatcher. So, this ain't the first go-around for Detroit!

It seems Detroit is no better then some of the scum bag corporations that suck all they can out of their employee's and then leave them high and dry!!
