SHAME ON XEROX
Xerox retirees sue in NY to halt health care cuts
 ROCHESTER,
N.Y. — Xerox Corp. retirees are seeking a federal court order to halt
cuts to their health care coverage.Ten former employees from upstate
New York, Florida and Connecticut sued the office equipment company on
behalf of thousands of colleagues hired before 1989.

Based in
Norwalk, Conn., Xerox said in September 2008 that up to a quarter of
its retirees will be stripped of supplemental health care coverage
beginning next year. The retirees claim that bid by the company to save
$11 million annually violates long-standing promises of coverage for
life.The company declined to comment on the lawsuit filed Tuesday in
federal court in Rochester.On Monday, Xerox said it is buying
Dallas-based outsourcer Affiliated Computer Services for about $6.4
billion in cash and stock.
