Pension Statements

All eligible members should have received a Pension Plan benefits statement recently in the mail. This is a collectively bargained benefit with the company. As we are about to enter negotiations again soon, please take a minute to look at the statement and really value for yourself how important that income will be when you retire.

We all know the problems with Social Security and the added security a pension brings. We also realize the trend at a lot of employers is to go away from defined-benefit plans. The Guild has always maintained that retirement isn’t a one-trick pony show, and that a good pension, Social Security, a quality 401K with company match and personal savings are what guarantees our members a healthy retirement financially.
