I am pleased to share a terrific podcast brought to you by Traci Dority-Shanklin and the World of Multiemployer Benefit Funds. Traci has cobbled together comments from Jack Marco, John Elliott, Jason Russell, and me from previous podcasts. Our comments address the multiemployer retirement crisis that has been unfolding for years. The recent passage of the American Rescue Plan Act (APRA) addresses many of the extreme funding issues, but more work is necessary to ensure that causes that led to previous issues don’t once again surface.

I hope that you’ll take the time to listen, as the podcast is only 30 minutes long. I believe that you’ll appreciate the views expressed by some of the leading industry voices in Jack, John, and Jason. There are several other multiemployer-focused podcasts that would provide you with additional terrific insights. I encourage you to visit their website.
