How safe is your GM pension?

QUESTION: What happens to my pension? Or more precisely for some, my father's pension?

ANSWER: It's not a small question; General Motors Corp. has 493,000 U.S. hourly and salaried retirees and surviving spouses.

The good news now is that GM is not terminating its pension plan.

GM said the company does not expect any immediate changes to the qualified pension plans and health and life insurance benefits that GM provides to retirees, survivors and beneficiaries.

Q: Does this mean no retirees will see any cuts?

A: No -- everyone is not safe...
