EXAMINING A RANGE OF EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ISSUES

As has been widely reported, including in our recent post, Congress Establishes Select Committee to Address Underfunded Multiemployer Pension Plans, a significant number of multiemployer pension plans, which provide pension benefits to more than 10 million Americans, are severely underfunded and many are facing impending insolvency. To learn more about the history of multiemployer plans, how this crisis is unfolding, the efforts that have been made to ameliorate the funding issues, and potential solutions, we recommend the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s (Chamber’s) report, The Multiemployer Pension Plan Crisis: The History, Legislation, and What’s Next. Morgan Lewis collaborated with the Chamber in preparing this report, which the Chamber has submitted to the congressional select committee.
