As a Union, we look out for your best interests and believe strongly in the importance of looking after the health and welfare of you AND your family. That is why we provide you with a large variety health and welfare benefits that enable you to take care of your family when needed most.  

We also want to help you plan for retirement. As a union, we invest in your future allowing you to collect a pension.  Through collective bargaining and your employer, we are able to negotiate a small portion of monies/funds from your hourly wages and those of all members, which are pooled into a large pension fund. This pool is invested into various investment funds over the course of your lifetime with the end goal of growing into much more than what you put in!
