The Honorable Harris Wofford

Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Senator Wofford:
Thank you for forwarding Mr. Melvin Spector's suggestions
for the President's health care reform. The Health Security Act
was designed to respond to the concerns we have heard from
hundreds of thousands of citizens in every part of the country.
It will provide Americans with the security of knowing that
their health care coverage will never be taken away. It will
simplify our overly complex system with its thousands of forms.
It will control spiraling health care costs, yet maintain quality
medical care. And finally, it will preserve the choice of
doctors so important to us all.
I hope that we will have your support as we move ahead, and
that you will encourage Mr. Spector to stay involved. Again,
thank you for contacting me.
Sincerely,
(}ill ~(ktLL~ ~IN)

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
Enclosed please find a letter sent to you care of Senator
Harris Wofford's Pittsburgh office.
The gentleman who wrote the letter, Mr. Melvin Spector, took

that the company would be unilaterally terminating those
benefits. Mr. Spector's case was cited by Senator Wofford in his
·floor speech introducing Senate Bill 1268 for consideration.
If our office be can be of any further assistance, please do
not hesitate to call.

Hillary Rodham Clinton
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20500
Dear Mrs. Clinton:
Mary Esther VanShura, Director of the State Office for Senator Harris
Wofford, has been kind enough to forward this letter on to you for your
consideration.
I am writing regarding my family's health care plight which has drattm ·
national attention, as a result of Senator Wofford's introduction of
Senate Bill S-1268, titled "Retiree Health Benefits Protection Act 11
amending the ERISA Act of 1974.
I applaud President Clinton's efforts to present a national health care
plan which will benefit every American citizen. I applaud your involvement with the task force \<Jhich will make recommendations in this regard.
I accepted an early retirement, Allegheny International, the company
I worked for, promised me orally and in writing, that my medical and life
\~hen
insurance would continue.
:
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect these benefits to be cancelled.
but Sunbearn-Oster, the successor company to Allegheny, did just that.
It appears that employers such as Sunbeam-Oster, with ·established retiree
health insurance plans, fear that they could be at a disadvantage once the
President•s national health insurance program has gained acceptance. Obviously, they feel they would be better off not having any health insurance
programs for retirees. and simply taking their chances w1th whatever national health insurance program comes along. For this reason, retiree health insurance plans are being cancelled throughout the nation, since any new program proposed by the Administration may require that they continue on with
previously established health insurance plans for retirees.
******
Many years ago, my parents came to this country looking for a better life
for themselves and their children. America was their land of dreams,
where hopes and aspirations became reality. It is true-- the United
States of America is the best country in the world.
con' t.
�2
One thing my parents knew, though, was that even though the United States
was the golden land of opportunity, nothing would happen without hard
work .
.••.• and they instilled this value into their two sons, my brother and
myself.
·
We are not alone, because there are millions of other Americans who know
that the only road to success is a life of hard work.
I spent almost 18 years of my working career with Allegheny International,
which at the height of its success, was a large corporate conglomerate, ·
with 3 Billion Dollars in sales, and some 38,000 employees. I worked
very hard for this company, and gave them everything I had -- sometimes
even more than was physically and mentally possible for me to give. During
my working career, I was willing to accept reduced pay increases, in order
that my family be protected with adequate health benefits and life insur:.
ance.
Unfortunately, the company fell victim to hard times and poor management,
and they persuaded me to take an early retirement, with promises that my
health benefits and life insurance protection would continue-- the medical
benefits to be supported, and there would be no cost for·the life insurance. Those retirement promises were bmhoral and written!
Because of its financial problems, Allegheny International underwent
financial re-organization, and Sunbeam-aster emerged as the.successor
company. In the re-organization, Sunbeam-Oster promised and assumed all
the commitments made by Allegheny International.
However, on May 1, 1993, Sunbeam-Oster, coldly and unceremoniously, advised me that on June 30, 1993, my medical benefits and life insurance
would be cancelled, and all costs would henceforth be my responsibility.
My medical premiums will now amount to $8,000.00 per year, which if continued, will deplete my savings, may force a sale of my:assets including
my home, and may eventually result in personal bankruptcy.· It is a crisis!
I cannot even consider buying life insurance at age 62, because of the
exorbitant cost. If I were to die tomorrow, my wife would be left penniless.
Since I am62, I do not qualify for Medicare and my wife who is .55, and
plagued with medical problems, cannot qualify for another 10 years.
******
The purpose of this letter is to plead our case with you, and the Presient, now that Senator Wofford has introduced Senate Bill S-1268 on
July 20, 1993, Retiree Health Benefits Protection Act, as an amendment
to the 1974 ERISA Act.
.
Senator Wofford's bill would force Sunbeam-Oster to restore all benefits
con't.
�3
until litigation like mine is resolved - I entered a class action suit
against Sunbeam-Oster on June 22, 1993.
This bill will not affect the Federal deficit in any ways unless it is not
passed. It will become a deficit problem if my savings and assets are gone,
and I need to rely on Medicaid. Multiply this by marym111ions like myself,
and it will become a Federal disaster.
This is merely a move on the part of the Sunbeam-Oster Corporation to force
the cost of retiree health care on to the federal government, at a time
when Sunbeam-aster posted a 70% increase in net income for the quarter
ending January 3, 1993. It is sheer. unadulterated, corporate greed!
* * ****
recognize there are many important issues facing the 103rd Congress, but
I implore you and the President to support an early release of this bill
for a vote by the Congress, and following that, an expeditious signing by
the President.
I
My personal crisis grows greater with each passing day, and with each insurance
bill that comes in. I never felt it necessary to become a financial burden
on the Federal government before, and I certainly don't want it to happen
now.
I hope that you, the President, and others of influence. will stubbornly
resist the corporate lobbies which most assuredly will be loudly vocal
against Senator Wofford's bill.
Enclosed is a series of newspaper clippingswhich outline my predicament, and
side. If there is any additional information I can provide, please
advise.
my.
Please accept my sincere thanks for your kind interest.

·AI retiree·
sues ov·er
benefit cut
By Cristina Rouvalis
Post-Gazette Staff Writer
.
i,
In 1987, Melvin Spector, a middle manager at Allegheny International Inc., jumped at
early retirement because of the sweetened
health and life insurance package offered.
Spector - who describes himself as a
loyal company man who bought only the
company's Sunbeam brand of home appliances - retired at age 55 with the peace of
mind of good benefits.
So, he said, he was stunned and angered
last month to receive a letter informing him
that Sunbeam-Oster Co., the company that
emerged in 1990 following AI's 1988 bankruptcy, was cutting off his medical and life
insurance benefits,- beginning this month.
Spector, a White· Oak resident who is now
62, is the plaintiff named in a class-action
suit against Sunbeam-Oster filed recently in
Allegheny County Common Pleas Court.
The suit is on behalf of about 2,000 AI
retirees, including hundreds in Western
Pennsylvania. It seeks more than $25,000 for
each retiree in insurance benefits plus
punitive damages.
"I feel I've been betrayed," Spector said
yesterday. "It's putting me on the verge of
bankruptcy.... It's not just me. They are·
hurting a lot of people. They are a brutal
bunch, those Sunbeam people."
Similar battles are being waged at a
growing number of corporations, which now·
face new accounting rules that require t~em
to put on their books how much they owe for ·
retiree benefits, said Kent Levihn, a principal at the Pittsburgh office of ,Towers
Perrin, a human resources consulting firm .
· "It's caused people to think about it. They
are starting to understand how pig the
obligation really is," Levihn said. Wftether a
company must pay depends on how clearly
an employer communicates its ob~gation to
employees· before retirement, he said.
Spector, who retired as manager of
headquarters purchasing and office services at AI's downtown office, safd his house ·
is filled with a Sunbeam brand lawn mower,
hair dryer and other appliaq.ces. But he
vows never to buy anoth~r · Sunbeam
appliance.
.
, .·
· · "A lot of retirees, not only at Allegheny
and Sunbeam, are going to think twice about
Sunbeam appliances when they hear about
how they treat their retirees." .
Officials from Sun~am-Oster, now
based in Providence, R.l.1 were unavailable
for comment.
Spector is parti~ galled that Sunbeam-Oster is cutting him off from partial
medical coverage and full life insurance
benefits at a time when the company is
posting a profit. For the quarter ended Jan.
3, Sunbeam-Oster ~ed $21 million on
sales of $242.9 million. That's a 70 percent
jump from the net income of $12.3 million on
sales of $220.1 million posted during the
same period last year.
Spectorfigures1it will cost him $4,000
year to pay {or medical benefits for himself
and his wife. He hasn't put a price on
replacing the life insurance. He said he got a
guarantee of those _benefits both in writing
and orally.
•
"Have you ,ever observed anyone getting
life insurance at age 62? It's not the easiest
proposition in the world," said Victor H.
Pribanic, the White Oak attorney who filed
the class action suit.
