The article discusses the analysis of multiemployer pension plan (MEPP) contribution system that also covers retired and private sector employees in the U.S. It cites that there were unfunded liabilities under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 using treasury rates and the market value of assets. The article also discusses the contribution received by the MEPP in 2013 which is way below the level required to prevent growth in unfunded liabilities at discount rates.
