Financial Security

Collective Bargaining Agreements between the union and contributing employers have established pension plans to provide for your long-term financial security. These plans fall under the term Defined Benefit Plan. They are designed to provide retirement income for life in addition to those Social Security Administration (SSA) benefits to which you may be entitled. All contributions to fund these plans are provided by participating employers pursuant to Collective Bargaining Agreements.

There are several steps that Local 464A members should take to understand this valuable benefit. (Also see Frequently Asked Questions - Pensions):
