What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana
The bottom line is the company and the union negotiated a pension contract and one of the options is Special Early Retirement. This is for employees with disabilities. When I called the Company Service Center about this plan, Special Early Retirement they assured me that I qualify for it. But after several days of communicating with them they told me "that option was not activated between the company and the union there fore I can't have that option". It's written in black and white in Two documents; the Contract Book between the Company and the Union and also in the Pension Booklet for Hourly Employees. My union and the company say there is nothing they can do about it.
Is this considered to be a Breach of Contract.
I would appreciate any advice on the matter, Thanks
