This document is about a notice from the UA Local 190 Plumbers/Pipefitters/Service Technicians/Gas Distribution Pension Plan regarding its status under the Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act (WRERA) of 2008. The plan had been certified as being in the "Critical" or "Red" zone as of June 1, 2009, but the trustees have elected to treat the plan as being in the "Endangered" or "Yellow" zone for the 2009 plan year. The notice outlines potential future steps the plan may need to take, including increases in contributions and reductions in future benefit accruals, if the plan is certified as being in Critical status for the 2010 plan year.
