The United States House of Representatives' Health, Employment, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee has been holding hearings this year on multiemployer pension reform. They are doing so because provisions in the Pension Protection Act affecting multiemployer pensions are set to expire in 2014. The below link provides the most recent Committee statement on this initiative.

We will continue to stay up to date on this project and will keep you posted if and when reform legislation is approved.
