Mr. Speaker, the bottom line is that retirees and workers in multiemployer union pension plans deserve better than a political statement disguised as a legislative proposal. Advancing this highly flawed bill, which has no chance of being passed in the Senate, will only result in delays rather than solutions for workers and retirees who are so rightfully concerned about the state of their pensions.
