The Welfare Fund benefits included herein represent some of the finest and broadest benefits offered by any public or private Union in New York State. Since all of our benefits are self-administered, the Trustees have consistently worked to improve the benefits on a regular basis.
The Fund contribution levels are established through collective bargaining. We have always made improvements in our benefits a priority in our contract negotiations. We believe you will find our plan to be the most comprehensive employee Welfare Fund in the State.
