Active members and Retiree's should sign this petition to restore the benefits they paid for. Unlike other employee's who's benefits are a privilege of employment, Carpenters pay for every cent of their benefits. I started this petition because we all pay a collective amount of 330 million dollars a year into the welfare fund there is no reason that we should have to pay anymore than that massive sum.If we act as union members should and unite we can compell the Board of Trustee's to act on our behalf. Thank you Sister's and Brother's! It is my honor to work with all of you and your camrardierie and guidance through the years is deeply appreciated Sincerely and Fraternally William Kane Local 2287.
