About RWDSU Benefit Funds

The RWDSU Benefit Funds are each Taft-Hartley Trusts regulated by ERISA.

Employees and Participants must satisfy all eligibility rules of the Plans to qualify for any benefit described. The Trustees have full and exclusive authority in their sole discretion to determine all questions of coverage and eligibility.

These benefits are provided from the Trusts’ assets, which are accumulated through the contribution provisions of the CBAs and Participation Agreements. This Website represents the Trustees’ goal of providing access to the Trusts’ and Plans’ information and the Individual Participant information through a secure source.
