In the normal course of business, you would of course, replace
"superseded" policies.     We learned in our faculty union that the
policies in affect at the time you retire, regardless of future contracts,
apply to the retiree at the time.   So if the 1997 contract guaranteed
an office and telephone for a retiree, that applies now, even if the 2004
contract deleted the telephone.    Insurance and benefits are another
issue what with the recent court cases on former Monsanto employees
who retired locally and the new company Solutia has attempted to
alter their benefits, retirement plans, insurance, etc.

I would grant this is more of a historical issue than a records management
Issue unless you should take care in retention that at least one copy of
the older policy, publication, agreement is retained.
