When the Congress attached the Multi Employer Reform Act to the budget bill in December of 2014 with out hearings and
testimony from the effected employees . It in essence allowed mismanaged pension funds to slash benifits to whatever they deem necessary to supposedly bring the funds back to stability. We have no faith that the management of the Central States Pension Fund , will do any thing other than make more riskey investments . With the years of oversight by the Federal Government , the CSPF
should have benn safe and sound ,yet here we are , the fund is proposing cuts, some over 50% . It is an ill conceived, unfair fix to a problem that should have been addressed at the negotiating table ,not in the halls of Congress.
