This resolution is terrible- please change it! By the way, prior to what??

I agree with you, Cat! This is so ambiguous and yet specific- bad combination! It’s so unclear! Whoever made this one up, I BEG you, change it.

Wow, I’m surprised you both don’t like it-this topic is great and prior to what?? that just means you know previous commitments that’s all and personally I think yes corporations should honor their prior commitmentsz to pensions. Yes the neg can turn it and say well what if the corporation goes bankrupt? I think this will be a fun topic but ultimatley stronger for the affirmative.

Bankruptcy isn’t the problem. The main problem would be corporations cutting off pensions so they aren’t required to honor them in the future, and then only offer them under very specific circumstances. Think long term, survivial of the fittest; corporations will adapt.
