John Kline: “On behalf of the committee, I am renewing this call today, Ms. Spencer.”

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.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank the witnesses for being with us today. Excellent testimony, as we're trying to solve the problem that some of us have been dealing with for a long time.

Workers and retirees must have peace of mind when it comes to their hard-earned retirement benefits.

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.
