Want to have your comments posted on the website E-mail brentfrow@sprint-embarqretirees.org

 I retired from Sprint in March of 2000. I was in middle management and was offered early retirement as my job was eliminated in the old Network Maintenance Dept. During the 90’s I was on the team that represented the company at union negotiations for contracts for CWA & IBEW.  I just can not understand at all how Embarq has the right to ignore these past contracts and just take ways these bargained benefits. And they have just plain raped all of us non-union and union retirees.

 I have found that no one retired from the Indiana Company was doing anything to protest this change, so I sent out the following E-mail to a few retirees and active employees that I had E-mail Address for. It has been forwarded on to a number other retirees in both Indiana and Ohio. I keep them updated with any news I see on EQ65.com and I let them all know about your new web site. I joined Your Web Site as Poorboy42. Just wanted to say thanks to you for staring this site and let you know what I have done so far. I will forward to you all the E-mails I have sent out to the folks where I worked and put you on the copy list for future correspondence I send them. So you will receive some more from me.

A very upset Sprint/Embarq Retiree
I am a Centel of Illinois/Sprint retiree (October 1993 just after Centel acquisition), 35 years of service with Centel and given an incentive retirement plan to retire before December 1993.  In your class action suite, paragraph 52, Illinois is not included as one of the locations named in the suite.  I think Illinois should be included.  I have many of the original company bulletins covering the "incentives offered" promoting my retirement.   I presume legal research into Embarq's unilateral benefits reduction included noticing the fact that in Sprint's 2006 Summary Annual Report (SAR) ERISA required report, in the third paragraph they state "This decrease includes a transfer to the Embarq Retirement Pension Plan of $3,088,719,816".  In the Embarq SAR there is no mention of this amount being included in thier Summary Annual Report sent by ERISA law requirement.  I noticed this but did not know how to pursue it.  I think this would be good ammunition for your (our) class action suite
