Hill Conferees Weigh Pension Plan Changes

摘要

House and Senate conferees have begun work on legislation that aims to fix problems afflicting pension plans around the country. Lawmakers have set early April as a target for hammering out differences between the bills that each chamber approved late last year. Much of the debate centers on single-company pension issues. But if negotiators can reach a deal on a final bill, it is also likely to include far-reaching mandates for multi-employer plans, which cover many construction industry workers.
