    Multiemployer Pension Plans Respond to the Financial Crisis
    (2011-09-01) Mazo, Judith F; Greenblum, Eli

Union and employer representatives collaborate in setting plan policy, defining benefits, and overseeing investments and operations; each side has an equal say. This chapter describes how, spurred by the Pension Protection Act’s new requirements and flexibility, multiemployer plans are adapting to the crisis with a mix of benefit reductions and employer contribution increases aimed at stabilizing their finances, rather than phasing out their defined benefit programs – at least for now
