What Plan Am I In?
Nearly all 32BJ members who have training benefits are covered
by the Shortman Fund. The Local 2 Safety Fund merged into the
Shortman Fund on July 1, 2006. The North Training Fund merged
into the Shortman Fund on August 1, 2008. .
This
is a general guide to assist you in identifying your
training fund. Please check with your union delegate/steward,
consult your contract or call Member Services 212-388-3500
if you are unsure of which fund may cover you. |
