Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company and the Stroh Brewery Company v. Milwaukee Brewery Workers' Pension Plan, Cross-Appellee

Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

Decided August 13, 1993No. 92-3811, 92-3894PublishedCited by 72 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

EASTERBROOK, Circuit Judge.

Three brewers in Milwaukee — Schlitz, Miller, and Pabst — contributed to a multi-em-ployer pension plan. The brewers also bargained jointly with the union over wages, pensions, and other benefits, and administered the pension plan. In 1981 Schlitz closed its Milwaukee brewery. (Schlitz has since been acquired by Stroh; we use its old name for clarity.) We must decide how much Schlitz owes as withdrawal liability under the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 (MPPAA).
