Large employers and business groups have formed a new organization to protect provisions in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act that limit states’ ability to regulate employee benefits.
The new National Coalition on Benefits, Washington, “is dedicated to working with Congress to maintain employers’ ability to provide uniform health and retirement benefits to employees and retirees across state and local lines, and to ensure that federal health reform initiatives preserve Employee Retirement Income Security Act benefits,” organizers say in a statement on the NCB Web site, at Document Link
“Don’t erode what works to fix what’s broken,” organizers declare.
