Local 1179 has negotiated many great benefits for its members and their
families that we are very proud of. Besides the medical, dental, optical and welfare plans
detailed on the left side of this page the union has negotiated many other benefits. There are
sick days, personal days, up to 12 paid holidays, liberal vacation time, uniform and shoe
allowance, and bonus money just to name a few. Consult your copy of the collective bargaining
agreement for more detailed information about your benefits and how they affect you.
All union members are entitled to a copy of their contract. If you need a copy of the current
