| schestowitz[TR3] | Both PPA and RBA can be rolled into IBM 401k or into an IRA. You can create a rollover IRA in minutes and make it the destination. Very easy and fast. | Mar 25 03:46 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | They will harangue you about evaluating it as an "annuity" and get a really low monthly payment if you have survivorship. It may take awhile - it took me 3 months to convert my PPA as IBM sets up roadblocks as they float the cash for their own profit. | Mar 25 03:46 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | As a direct rollover it does not affect 401k or IRA contribution limits. | Mar 25 03:46 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | And yes the IBM 401k is actually quite good and cheap - being under ERISA means it is under better bankruptcy protection than IRAs. And the costs are very low. | Mar 25 03:46 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | But yeah the investments are far more limited than with an IRA. Keep the 401k but roll it over to an IRA an investment at a time as you can even buy stock with an IRA. Do this as needed. I moved some to an IRA but left the rest for now. | Mar 25 03:46 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | From 30th March onwards, two possible action plans are currently under consideration: | Mar 25 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Action Plan 1 | Mar 25 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Continuation of the current strategy as presented in January, involving strikes on fixed days of Mondays and Fridays combined with continued work-to-rule action; | Mar 25 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Action Plan 2 | Mar 25 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Further intensification through rolling strikes allowing strike action any day of the week from Monday to Friday combined with continued work-to-rule action. | Mar 25 04:43 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | The reason we present two plans is to allow the members to indicate which schedule is expected to provide the most substantial decrease in production. These action plans will be presented, discussed and decided upon by the SUEPO The Hague members during our upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of SUEPO The Hague of 26th March at 11:00. | Mar 25 04:43 |
