To bad! My dad worked for Alcoa in the fifties and sixties for twenty five years. Never saw any benefits from them when he got laid off. When he died in the early eighties my mom got one little check from them, then they had the nerve to say she wasn"t suppost to get it. They ask for it back.They made money off of him and many like him so I say to bad!!!!!!
