When is a contract not a contract? | Letter to the editor

The early retiree health insurance offer to SPEEA from Boeing management is absurd.  In it,  employees are offered a ‘non-contractual contract’, where the company can unilaterally change or cancel important benefits at any time.  Who would buy a car from a dealer with a sales contract that allowed the dealer to take back the wheels and cancel the warranty at a whim?  Would Boeing buy parts and supplies under such and arrangement?  Would anyone?  Would you?
