Multiemployer Pension Plans

During fiscal 2019 and 2018 year-to-date, we contributed $25 and $20, respectively, to various multiemployer pension plans, primarily defined benefit pension plans, under collective bargaining agreements.

Pension Contributions

No minimum contributions are required to our pension plans in fiscal 2019 in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). We anticipate our fiscal 2019 discretionary pension contributions and required minimum other postretirement benefit plan contributions will be approximately $5 to $10.
