MISSION STATEMENT
The LRO Board has formed a Benefits Team, with a mission to champion the concerns and issues of members and retirees in their day-to-day dealings with Lucent, its agents and others entities - and to inform every retiree of the results. This includes:
Responsiveness: The BT will provide facts, references, templates and shared experiences to help members and retirees deal with benefit concerns, in response to individual needs and to retirees, at large. The BT shall make no recommendations for retiree's choices and exercise caution to assure that its communications does not provide improper guidance.
Liaison with others: The BT will maintain liaison with other retiree groups and support organizations to advance its mission.
Communications: The BT will review all Lucent communications to retirees for accuracy, consistency and completeness and convey proposals for action to the LRO Board. BT will maintain web site pages for providing links of interest to retirees and a discussion board for benefits. Articles in the LRO newsletter will summarize important results.
Formal support: In exemplary cases, the BT will assist retirees in filing formal claims with Lucent and government agencies. Retirees are expected to first use "normal channels" before requesting the BT's support. The BT may also recommend legal action to the LRO Board in exceptional cases.
Expert assistance: The LRO Board will provide an annual budget for expert services to support this effort, as appropriate.
