Supreme Court of the United States February 21, 1995, 93-768 (Milwaukee Brewery Workers' Pension Plan v. Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co.)

Justice Breyer

delivered the opinion of the Court.

The Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 (MPPAA), 94 Stat. 1208, 29 U. S. C. §§1381-1461, provides that an employer who withdraws from an underfunded multi-employer pension plan must pay a charge sufficient to cover that employer’s fair share of the plan’s unfunded liabilities.
