Your Benefis

Local 237 Member Benefits

Job security, pensions and good benefits are just of the few the reasons that workers join unions. Local 237 member benefits are among the best in New York and the nation. Our union has fought for them at the bargaining table – both in the last round of contract negotiations and in every contract preceding that.

Health, Welfare and Pension Benefits
In addition to employer-provided health and pension benefits, most Local 237 members participate in our union’s Welfare Benefit Funds, which provide medical benefits such as prescription drugs, optical and dental care.  Additionally, 237 members have access to free legal services, educational programs, financial planning, and retirement planning.
