Employee Retirement Income Security Act "tag-along" claims
Employee Retirement Income Security Act "tag-along" claims involve plaintiffs who assert that, in addition to pension plan fiduciaries, corporate directors and officers are also liable for pension plan defaults and payment shortfalls and therefore must also "tag along" as named defendants in such lawsuits.
