We participate in one regional multi-employer pension plan, principally related to one of our manufacturing companies; the plan is not considered significant to us.

 

Effective January 1, 2010, we froze all future benefit accruals under substantially all of our domestic qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans.  Future benefit accruals related to our foreign non-qualified plans were frozen several years ago.
