LEGACY COSTS
Ongoing costs of a company by funding the increased healthcare fees and other benefit-related costs for its current employees and retired pensioners. It is said that escalating legacy costs can contribute a lot in limiting a company’s competitiveness. But labor unions argue these are part of an organization’s moral obligation to its employees. Usually, larger, older, and most established companies face the dilemma with spiraling legacy costs, mostly because of its pension and healthcare benefits.
