TITLE III--SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLANS

SEC. 121. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLANS.

(a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
(1) Multiemployer pension plans have been a major force in
the delivery of employee benefits to active and retired
American workers and their dependents for over half a century.
(2) There are approximately 1,700 multiemployer defined
benefit pension plans in which approximately 9,700,000 workers
and retirees participate.
(3) Three-quarters of the approximately 60,000 to 65,000
employers that participate in multiemployer plans have fewer
that 100 employees.
(4) Multiemployer plans allow for greater access and
affordability for smaller employers and pension portability for
their employees as they move from one job to another, and
permit workers to earn a pension where they might otherwise not
be able to do so.
(5) The 2000-2002 drop in the stock market and decline in
equity values has affected all investors, including
multiemployer plans.
(6) The decline in value sustained by multiemployer defined
benefit pension plans have threatened the stability of this
private sector source of secure retirement income.
(7) Participating employers could face onerous excise taxes
and other penalties as a result of the serious, adverse
financial impact due to these market losses.
(8) In 2004, the United States Senate recognized the
severity of this situation and passed by an overwhelmingly,
large bipartisan margin of 86 to 9 temporary relief provisions
for single and multiemployer defined benefit pension plans.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the
Senate--
(1) expresses its strong support for multiemployer defined
benefit pension plans;
(2) recognizes the importance of an environment in which
multiemployer plans can continue their vital role in providing
benefits to working men and women;
(3) recognizes that multiemployer pension plan relief must
be designed for the multiemployer labor-relations environment
that supports the plans; and
(4) supports legislation to strengthen and protect the
viability of multiemployer pension plans for the continued
benefit of current and retired members, and their families and
survivors, and to strengthen the ability of all plans to
address funding problems that occur.

A: Amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) to deny any force or effect to any portion of a rule promulgated on April 23, 2004, that has the effect of exempting from FLSA overtime compensation requirements (which limit maximum hours at regular compensation) any employee who would not otherwise be exempted if regulations in effect on March 31, 2003, remained in effect. Reinstates that portion of such regulations that would prevent such an employee from being exempt. Directs the Secretary of Labor to increase, in a specified manner, the minimum salary level for the exemption for executive, administrative, and managerial occupations from FLSA overtime compensation requirements.

Amends the FLSA to increase the Federal minimum wage to: (1) $5.85 an hour, beginning on the 60th day after enactment of this Act; (2) $6.55 an hour, beginning 12 months after that 60th day; and (3) $7.25 an hour, beginning 24 months after that 60th day.

Expresses the sense of the Senate regarding multiemployer pension plans.

Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

United States foreign assistance programs;
(B) requires the Secretary of State to--
(i) develop a strategy to elevate the role
of water and sanitation policy; and
(ii) improve the effectiveness of United
States assistance programs undertaken in
support of that strategy;
(C) codifies Target 10 of the United Nations
Millennium Development Goals; and
(D) seeks to reduce the proportion of people who
are unable to reach or afford safe drinking water and
basic sanitation by 50 percent by 2015.
(2) On December 20, 2006, the United Nations General
Assembly, in GA Resolution 61/192, declared 2008 as the
International Year of Sanitation, in recognition of the impact
of sanitation on public health, poverty reduction, economic and
social development, and the environment.
(3) On August 1, 2008, Congress passed H. Con. Res. 318,
which--
(A) supports the goals and ideals of the
International Year of Sanitation; and

public health, poverty reduction, economic and social
development, and the environment.
(4) While progress is being made on safe water and
sanitation efforts--

world lack access to safe drinking water; and
(B) 2 of every 5 people in the world do not have
access to basic sanitation services.

poor sanitation are staggering, accounting for--
(A) nearly 10 percent of the global burden of
disease; and
(B) more than 2,000,000 deaths each year.
(6) The effects of climate change are expected to produce
severe consequences for water availability and resource
management in the future, with 2,800,000,000 people in more
than 48 countries expected to face severe and chronic water
shortages by 2025.
(7) The impact of water scarcity on conflict and
instability is evident in many parts of the world, including
the Darfur region of Sudan, where demand for water resources
has contributed to armed conflict between nomadic ethnic groups
and local farming communities.
(8) In order to further the United States contribution to
safe water and sanitation efforts, it is necessary to--
(A) expand foreign assistance capacity to address
the challenges described in this section; and
(B) represent issues related to water and
sanitation at the highest levels of United States
foreign assistance deliberations, including
deliberations related to issues of global health, food
security, the environment, global warming, and maternal
and child mortality.
