"It seems to me that there is a basic inconsistency of treatment among different groups of retirees in the path we are on."

"We need to find a workable solution for underfunded multiemployer pension plans that does not come at the expense of those who have worked hard."

"Financial security for workers and their families, from their retirement policy in particular, has never been more important."

"Ten million Americans are covered by multiemployer pension plans, and, currently, more than one-third of those people are in plans that are critically underfunded."
