A commission comprising industry and union officials, including a large construction contingent, has called for short- and long-term actions, ranging from minor tweaks to major changes, to bolster the ailing multi-employer pension system.
The National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans panel's Feb. 19 report may help shape bills on multi-employer pension rules. Marco Giamberardino, National Electrical Contractors Association executive director for government affairs, says, "The goal is to see legislation pass before the end of this year."
