Benevolent Fund Update
The Benevolent Fund, which was funded through mandatory contributions deducted from a member’s Vacation Benefit during Vacation Redemption, is no longer an active council benefit. The MACRC now provides benefits for a member killed on-the-job through the Midwest Coalition of Labor (MCL). Visit carpentersunion.org for more information.
