American Airlines' Last-Mover Disadvantage
November 30, 2011 -- Bloomberg Businessweek
Stephen Selbst notes that all the major airlines -- except American -- reduced their wage-and-benefit costs years ago by having sought bankruptcy protection. Stephen says American and its parent company should have filed half a decade ago, on the heels of filings by Delta and Northwest. By filing now, after its competitors strengthened themselves by lowering direct and indirect employment costs, a bankrupt American is facing stronger competition.

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.

April 13, 2009 -- Sports Business Journal
The National Football League joined mainstream Corporate America when it recently decided to allow teams to cease offering pensions to non-player employees, Gary Young says.
