#SmallBusinessWeek is a good reminder just how important our work on the Pensions Committee to solve the multiemployer pension plan crisis is.
And it isn’t just retirees who will feel the pain. #SmallBiz are at risk of collapsing if they end up on the hook for pension liability they can’t afford to pay.
I have spent time with Ohio #smallbiz who have done everything right, but are being punished because their business thrived while so many of their competitors failed. We cannot allow these plan to fail and take thousands of businesses and jobs with them. -SB
