YRC aims to fund pensions with real estate

YRC Worldwide, the biggest trucking company in the US, is negotiating with its unions to allow it to suspend cash payments to its defined-benefit pension plan and to pledge real estate instead. It would be the first major US company to use its real estate to help meet its pension obligations.

I find this vaguely disturbing. Also, I'm surprised that no US source seems to be carrying this story.
