S. 1631 & H.R. 2844, Keep Our Pension Promises Act (KOPPA) - TCU lobbied both the House and Senate in favor of this legislation which aims to repeal the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014 (MPRA), which authorizes pension managers to make cuts to retiree benefits. KOPPA would instead allow the insolvent pension plans to be partitioned and supported through the PBGC. TCU supports this legislation as a way to ensure retirees across the country are not left without their promised retirement savings.
