The six video segments below were prepared by the Machinists Union and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) following high profile bankruptcies in which IAM members’ pensions are in jeopardy of being terminated. IAM members supplied the questions. The PBGC provided the responses. These videos are not intended to answer every possible question or scenario, but do provide a solid understanding of PBGC policies, procedures and practices. In addition to the video segments, a written transcript is available in PDF format for easy printing and distribution. Additional information about the PBGC is available on their web site, www.pbgc.gov. |
