The Annuity Plan was established as the result of the collective bargaining agreements between the employers and the Union. It is financed by employer contributions; employees do not contribute to the Plan.
The Annuity Fund is administered by a Board of Trustees consisting of an equal number of the Union and representatives of the employers. They serve without compensation. The Annuity Fund is a separate trust fund established for the purpose of paying the benefits provided under the Plan. The Plan has been qualified by the Internal Revenue Service.
You are covered by the Annuity Plan if you are an employee working under a collective bargaining agreement between the Union and an employer providing for contributions to this Fund.
The primary purpose of the Plan is to provide participants additional financial security during their retirement years. While other provisions of the plan provide for in-service withdrawals during times of financial necessity, they are secondary to the primary objective of retirement income.
