WORKFORCE
RESTRUCTURING PLAN
BNL
has released a "Draft
Workforce Restructuring Plan" which "was developed to
ensure the Laboratory will be able to minimize worker and community
impacts
during a major workforce restructuring, while retaining employees with
the
skills, knowledge and experience to support the current and future
missions of
the Laboratory." There was a two week time period for submitting
comments; BREA did so in a letter from
President
Joyce Tichler to DOE Site Manager, Michael Holland. Joyce's
letter
focused upon the absence of any explicit statement concerning retiree
benefits. The essence of Holland's
reply was that the benefits for already retired employees would not
affected by the restructuring plan but "would be addressed ... at the
time
of a closure decision".
INVESTMENT
STRATEGIES DURING RETIREMENT: 
BREA
member Frank Federman addressed the above topic in a presentation at
BNL April
8, 2005. "While retirement for many people marks the end of a
journey; there is a significant financial journey beyond the point of
retirement". The discussion focused on the retiree's new goals and the
choices available to enable their realization.
Federman provided a set of documents, posted here in pdf format:
an introductory page, a biographical note, an outline of his
presentation, a
bibliography and an "Asset Correlation" table. (Adobe's
