06 Feb Pension Funding Legislation Re-Introduced into the 116th Congress: TAKE ACTION!

It is vital that Congress address the nation’s growing pension funding crisis.

The BCTGM has been a leader in the effort to secure federal legislation to address the country’s growing pension funding crisis — which affects virtually every BCTGM member with a collectively bargained pension.  Last year, the BCTGM worked extremely hard in support of legislation that strengthens pension plans and avoids retiree benefit reductions through long-term, low-interest loans.

While enormous progress was made, Congress did not pass the legislation last.

On January 3, the new 116th Congress convened. Within a few days, Congressman Richard Neal (D-MA), Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, re-introduced pension funding legislation which includes all measures supported by the BCTGM last year. The legislation, the Rehabilitation for Multiemployer Pensions Act, H.R. 397, is a top priority for the House leadership and for the labor movement.
