John Kline: “The time has come, I think, really for this committee and for organizations to start thinking about how you transition…”

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

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.

Republicans and Democrats have a history of bipartisan cooperation on this issue.

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.
