	FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code
		After Firestone sold its Plastics Division to Occidental Petroleum Co. (Occidental), respondents, Plastics Division employees who were rehired by Occidental, sought severance benefits under the termination pay plan, but Firestone denied their requests on the ground that there had not been a "reduction in work force" that would authorize benefits under the plan's terms.
		Firestone was the sole source of funding for the plans and had not established separate trust funds out of which to pay the benefits from the plans.
		Firestone can seek no shelter in these principles of trust law, however, for there is no evidence that under Firestone's termination pay plan the administrator has the power to construe uncertain terms or that eligibility determinations are to be given deference.
