The latest in multiemployer policy.
Sometimes, the best solution is to give businesses the tools they need to help themselves.

"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports Chairman Bobby Scott’s introduction of the Emergency Pension Plan Relief Act of 2021, which aims to protect workers’ and retirees’ pensions and the employers that contribute to them. Without a solution to the multiemployer pension funding crisis, pensions and jobs will be lost as employers and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation face bankruptcy. Furthermore, without a legislative fix, employers that sponsor single-employer plans will face difficulties emerging from the economic damage of the COVID-19 pandemic which significantly increased pension contributions because of lower interest rates, a volatile market, and the decimation of certain industries."
This Coalition letter was sent to Subcommittee on Social Security, Pensions, and Family Policy Chairman Rob Portman and Ranking Member Sherrod Brown, on Single-Employer Pension Funding Stabilization Relief.

Congress recognized that in these uncertain times, employers were facing a dilemma: make pension contributions (for obligations that won’t be due in years) or make payroll and other short term costs.
