Enactment of this provision would permit pension funds to amortize investment losses incurred over 30 years instead of 15 years using a corporate bond index formula. IBEW opposed drastic cuts in benefits, significant increases in contributions and harsh penalties on employers – catastrophic to both the workers covered under these plans and the industries that support them. Ltr. 9/16/03 Bill Ref. H.R. 2989/Transportation-Treaury Appropriation. The IBEW supported language that would prohibit any funds in the FY 2004 Transportation-Treasury Appropriations bill (H.R. 2989) from being used to assist in overturning a federal court decision that cash balance pension conversions violate federal age discrimination law; blocking companies from altering their pension plans to the financial disadvantage of older workers.
