John Kline: “We appreciate the work the Department has done in issuing initial guidance as States begin the process of transitioning…”

I cannot State emphatically enough that far-reaching reform, fiscal responsibility, and bipartisanship must be the principles that guide us as we work to solve this problem.

There is nothing fair or excusable about a 75-year-old retiree with health care concerns finding out that the pension he was promised just isn't funded.

Composite plans are not intended to replace defined benefit plans, but are intended to be an alternative to the 401(k) defined contribution plan.

If Congress does not reform the architecture of the multiemployer pension system, then it won't matter how much money we throw at this problem.
