Your employer contributes to the Funds on your behalf to pay for benefits. You are not required to make any contributions for your benefits. Your employer’s contribution amount is determined through negotiations and is set at the time the collective bargaining agreement is reached. The contributions are pooled in the Trust Funds and invested by professional investment managers. The Trust Fund assets are used exclusively to provide you with benefits and cover plan administration expenses, in accordance with Internal Revenue Service rules.

The Board of Trustees is proud to play a role in providing you with what we believe is one of the most comprehensive programs in the trade union movement today and will continuously do their best to improve your benefits.
