What a shock to the retired executives at Westinghouse when they lost their pension this year.
The Westinghouse executive pension plan was non- qualified so the bankruptcy judge stopped paying them when the current executives' decisions bankrupted the company.
Add to the sting, this was deferred salary compensation they lost that could have been personally invested or enjoyed.
Regular employee pensions are qualified and not impacted.
