“[1] The plan sponsor has the responsibility of determining this withdrawal liability, notifying the employer, and collecting payment. 29 U.S.C. § 1382 . [2] If the employer disputes the amount set, it may ask the plan sponsor to conduct a reasonable review of the computed liability. 29 U.S.C. § 1399 (b)(2)(A). [3] In the event the dispute is unresolved, either party may request arbitration. 29 U.S.C. § 1401 (a)(1). [4] The arbitrator's award, in turn, may be challenged in federal court. 29 U.S.C. § 1401 (b)(2).”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“ensure that the courts are not used by an unscrupulous pension fund lacking a legitimate withdrawal liability claim to squeeze money from an employer and propel it into bankruptcy.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“Congress enacted MPPAA out of concern that multiemployer pension plans would collapse as employers withdrew if the remaining contributors became too few in number to pay the unfunded vested benefits. Congress foresaw that the purpose of MPPAA would be undermined if employers could postpone paying their debts to pension funds by engaging in protracted litigation over withdrawal liability. Therefore, the statute directs employers to begin payments upon notification of withdrawal liability, whether or not they choose to dispute the determination.”
