Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company maintains both defined benefit pension plans and postretirement health care plans that provide medical and life insurance coverage to eligible salaried and hourly retired employees in North America and their dependents. The Company maintains international defined benefit pension plans which are either noncontributory or contributory and are funded in accordance with applicable local laws. Pension or termination benefits are based primarily on years of service and the employee's compensation.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company purchased a group annuity contract using the assets held within the pension trust that transferred the remaining pension obligation under its largest U.S. pension plan of approximately $713 million to an insurance company. The Company incurred an additional non-cash settlement charge of $152.5 million related to this transfer. These non-cash settlement charges relate to Net Actuarial Loss previously recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.
