The benefits provided by the Trust Fund are purchased from insurance companies with contributions made by your employer on your behalf. These contributions are made to the Trust Fund as a result of a Collective Bargaining Agreement. You will be eligible for benefits as described in this booklet. The Board of Trustees looks after the Trust Fund.
The Trustees are responsible for the design of the benefit package provided by the Trust Fund and for the allocation of the contributions made to the Trust Fund. To help carry out their duties, the Trustees have appointed various people such as accountants, consultants and lawyers to provide them with professional advice. The Trustees meet with these advisors from time to time to review matters that arise in the running of the Trust Fund. The Trustees make all decisions that are necessary at these meetings by taking a vote amongst themselves. The daily administrative functions of the Trust Fund are performed by the plan’s Administrative Agent who is Benefit Plan Administrators Limited.
It is hoped that the Trust Fund will be continued indefinitely, but as is customary in group insurance plans, the right of change or discontinuance at any time must be reserved.
