    If the pensions were at risk due to the company’s bankruptcy, something has gone very wrong. Generally, pension funds are protected under ERISA.

      There’s a whole lot of Coal Miners who would argue that point.

        Were they not covered because of a technicality (for example being a contractor versus an employee), or did ERISA just fail to make them whole as they should have?
