CORRE has petitioned the DOE
contractors to extend the 2% flat rate spousal option offered
to employees in July 2004, to retirees as well. It is past time
for another pension adjustment, since current
retirees have lost, on average, over 50 percent of the value of their
pensions due to inflation.

A letter from President Dave Reichle to Oak Ridge retireesDear Fellow Retirees: CORRE’s Board of Directors has been very busy during the first half of 2005. During March, April, and May CORRE representatives have met with officials from DOE-Oak Ridge and DOE prime contractors in Oak Ridge—BWXT, UT-Battelle, Wackenhut, and Bechtel-Jacobs. CORRE has also briefed staff of the Tennessee Congressional Delegation on pension issues of concern to employees. These pension issues are discussed in detail in the new CORRE 2005 Position Paper. You will find a copy of this position paper, and other activities underway, on this web site. Click on (CORRE 2005 Position Paper) to read a copy of the position paper and on (CORRE Accomplishments and Activities) to see a list of CORRE accomplishments and activities. The Pension Fund is healthy and the surplus is well over half a billion dollars in excess of that necessary to meet all auctorial liabilities. CORRE has petitioned the DOE contractors to extend the 2% flat rate spousal option that was offered to employees in July 2004, to retirees as well. CORRE also believes that it is time for another pension adjustment, since current retirees have lost, on average, over 50 percent of the value of their pensions due to inflation. Dave Reichle, CORRE President June 2005
