- a specific section of the article:
-
- "... Attorneys in the class action suit announced last week that they
- have reached an out-of-court settlement with AT&T and the Bell
- regional holding companies. Under terms of the settlement, employees
- who moved from one former Bell System company to another after January
- 1, 1985 - usually leaving AT&T to work for the RHCs - and were
- improperly denied portability rights to their pension will receive
- cash awards to cover the lost benefits ..."
