401(k) fear: Can workers' stock decisions figure in layoffs?
December 26, 2010 -- USA Today.com
Employees who sell shares of company stock from their 401(k) plans are immune from retribution if they follow the rules of the plan, Fred Green says in a Q&A. Companies that establish 401(k) plans that seek to comply with ERISA Section 404(c) cannot even find out whether employees are selling company stock, whereas the plans that do not seek to comply with 404(c) allow employers to monitor -- but not act on -- employees' sales of such stock.

Court reinstates Visteon retiree benefits
July 13, 2010 -- Reuters
Stephen Selbst says the Third Circuit's ruling in Visteon, which prohibited the bankrupt auto parts manufacturer from eliminating retirees' health and life insurance benefits, might go up to the Supreme Court. Stephen said this is the kind of case the Supreme Court is prone to hearing because it has a significant societal layer and because the various federal circuits are divided on the larger issue of whether bankruptcy discharges companies' obligations to pay retirees' benefits.
