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.

Former Chairman John Kline, while recognizing that the overtime threshold should be responsibly reformed, called the administration's drastic move extreme and partisan.

Part of the way we need to approach these solutions is to adopt reforms that address the structural flaws within the plans.
