An essential resource for workers navigating their retirement and pension options, from the labor organizer's perspective. Researching retirement plans should not take the rest of your life, even if deciphering the relevant paperwork seems to have become a full-time job. Deliberately elaborate legalese is obscuring the efforts of financial elites to seize control of workers' collective retirement savings—and The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans is here to translate. Neoliberal retirement reforms have escalated elites' efforts to replace guaranteed workplace retirement plans with weak 401(k)-like savings accounts and risky stock market investment schemes. The result is arguably the largest source of labor value expropriation over the last four decades. In light of all this, what do workers need to know as they assess their future prospects—especially in terms of the security their retirement plans may or may not bring? What should union activists keep in mind as they push for the national and workplace reforms needed to produce greater retirement security? This nuts-and-bolts book provides a much-needed demystification of the retirement system. Even more than that The Labor Guide to Retirement Plans enables us to take charge of our own personal futures, as a first step towards taking back what belongs to us all.

Over the past 20 years there has been a shift in the types of pension plans employers are offering employees. Employers are increasingly moving away from traditional defined benefit plans to the 401(k). Specific info. about the plan & plan options becomes more relevant than under defined benefit plans because participants are responsible for ensuring that they have adequate income at retirement. While info. on historical performance & investment risk for each plan option are important for participants to understand, so too is info. on fees because fees can significantly decrease participants¿ retirement savings over the course of a career. This testimony focuses on: trends in the use of 401(k) plans; & the types of fees assoc. with these plans. Illus.

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0 (A), , course: Current Issues In Human Resources Management, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this paper is to review the often overlooked negative side of the 401(k) retirement plan. Several major drawbacks of the 401(k) such as insufficient investing, poor asset allocation and the detrimental effect of market volatility ever more apparent by current economic conditions are discussed. The still developing legal liability of 401(k) plans and those implications for Human Resource professionals is also presented through a legal case study. More and more Americans rely more heavily on 401(k) retirement plans with the worsening Social Security situation, the decline of pension plans and the commonly held belief that 401(k)s are the superior choice for an adequate retirement. However this belief is rarely questioned, and even less so in prosperous economic times when the inherent high risk associated with many types of investments in 401(k) plans produce good results. Some financial advisors, economists and even lawmakers though have begun to scrutinize the nearly always positive image of 401(k)s for investing in retirement. It goes without much contention though that part of this new scrutiny is of course motivated by current worsening economic conditions. Experts point to a myriad of misconceptions and inherent shortcomings in the current 401(k) system. These include unguided and often insufficient investing, hidden and sometimes substantially detrimental plan fees, poor asset allocations on investments, inherent and damaging stock market volatility and more. While most financial planners continue to hold that the 401(k) is an excellent way to invest in one’s retirement, some questions are being raised and there is perhaps a growing need for more explanation with that recommendation now. First background information about the 401(k) retirement plan is presented including its basis in laws related to Human Resources and a brief demonstration of its rise in popularity. Next, the negative side of the 401(k) is presented through a literature review organized by several major bullet points. Lastly, a legal case study is presented to reinforce human resource related employer legal liability followed by the paper’s conclusion.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on 401(k) pension plans, focusing on: (1) the proportion of workers covered by 401(k) pension plans; (2) workers' contributions to their 401(k) pension plans; and (3) how workers invest their pension account balances. GAO found that: (1) half of all workers and nearly two-thirds of workers nearing retirement age are covered by a pension plan; (2) one in four workers participates in a 401(k) pension plan; (3) male, white, highly educated, and higher-income workers are more likely to have pension coverage than any other group; (4) one-third of the workers eligible to participate in 401(k) plans do not participate in these plans; (5) union members are more likely to have pension coverage than nonunion workers; (6) more than 70 percent of all workers employed by large firms are covered by at least one pension plan; (7) workers without a high school diploma are unlikely to be covered by a pension plan and fewer than half of the high school dropouts nearing retirement age have no pension coverage; (8) 60 percent of college graduates have pension plans; (9) 60 percent of retirement age workers with incomes less than $25,000 are not covered by a pension plan and rely on Social Security as their primary source of income after retirement; (10) higher-income workers contribute more to their pension plans than lower-income workers; (11) 25 percent of 401(k) participants invest their funds in bonds, another 25 percent invest in stocks, and the remaining participants split their investments between both stocks and bonds; (12) women invest their 401(k) funds more conservatively than men; and (13) workers investing their 401(k) balances in stocks have greater retirement incomes.

How 401(k)s have gutted retirement security, from charging exorbitant hidden fees to failing to replace the income of traditional pensions Named one of PW's Top 10 for Business & Economics A retirement crisis is looming. In 2008, as the 401(k) fallout rippled across the country, horrified holders watched 25 percent of their funds evaporate overnight. Average 401(k) balances for those approaching retirement are too small to generate more than $4,000 in annual retirement income, and experts predict that nearly half of middle-class workers will be poor or near poor in retirement. But long before the recession, signs were mounting that few people would ever be able to accumulate enough wealth on their own to ensure financial security later in life. This hasn’t always been the case. Each generation of workers since the nineteenth century has had more retirement security than the previous generation. That is, until 1981, when shaky 401(k) plans began replacing traditional pensions. For the last thirty years, we’ve been advised that the best way to build one’s nest egg is to heavily invest in 401(k)-type programs, even though such plans were originally designed to be a supplement to rather than the basis for retirement. This financial experiment, promoted by neoliberals and aggressively peddled by Wall Street, has now come full circle, with tens of millions of Americans discovering that they would have been better off under traditional pension plans long since replaced. As James W. Russell explains, this do-it-yourself retirement system—in which individuals with modest incomes are expected to invest large sums of capital in order to reap the same rewards as high-end money managers—isn’t working. Social Insecurity tells the story of a massive and international retirement robbery—a substantial transfer of wealth from everyday workers to Wall Street financiers via tremendously costly hidden fees. Russell traces what amounts to a perfect swindle, from its ideological origins at Milton Friedman’s infamous Chicago School to its implementation in Chile under Pinochet’s dictatorship and its adoption in America through Reaganomics. Enraging yet hopeful, Russell offers concrete ideas on how individuals and society can arrest this downward spiral.
