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!
