Next up for McClatchy -- freezing pension plans?

A commenter here threw out a possible next option if McClatchy's finances worsen: the company could freeze the pension plan.
What will be next? let me take one guess. "Gannett freezes pension plan", will this be the next step McClatchy takes?
That's exactly what Gannett did in June. (And get this: my blogging colleague Jim Hopkins discovered Gannett executives were exempt from the freeze.)

Uh, will someone please tell me what "frozen pension plan" means for those already retired... from Knight-Ridder? Every newspaper account simply quotes the press release.
