Greetings from the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 4 Benefit Funds. These Funds were established to administer the benefits on behalf of the working men and women of Local 4.

From the Health & Welfare Fund that is a self-insured, self-administered Plan that brings you and your family a comprehensive slate of health benefits, to the Annuity & Savings Plan that provides a participant directed retirement Plan, to the Pension Fund that distributes your retirement savings, the Funds do their best to serve each of Local 4’s members and their families.

As your Administrator, I strive daily to make sure the Funds are managed in the utmost professional and sensible way possible for you and your family’s everyday needs.  This includes ensuring an efficient and productive office staff that is readily available to answer your benefit questions or concerns.

In my role, I work closely with the Board of Trustees of each Fund. The Board of Trustees consists of three union and three employer representatives.  The Board of Trustees act in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Trust that is established for each Plan.

The Funds fall under the jurisdiction of the Taft-Hartley Act (1947), which sanctions a group of employers to contribute money into a joint trust fund for the sole and restricted benefit of the employees and their dependents.

It has been my pleasure to serve you over the past 27 years.  I hope you find this website and all of its contents helpful and informative.  If you have any questions about the benefits outlined herein or to learn more about the Fund Office, please send an email to: office@local4funds.org.

Sincerely,

Gina M. Alongi

Administrator
