We’re excited to show off the new carpet in UA Local 290’s meeting hall!

This fresh update gives our meeting space a clean, welcoming look and helps keep our hall looking its best for the meetings, events, and gatherings that bring our members together.

It’s the little improvements that make a big difference. We’re proud to continue investing in our union hall and creating a space our members can be proud of.

📢 Retirement Plan Update
At the August 12th Board of Trustees meeting, the Trustees voted to add a Roth 401(k) catch-up contribution option for retirees age 50 and older.
Due to changes in federal law taking effect in 2027, catch-up contributions for eligible participants will no longer be made as traditional pre-tax 401(k) contributions and instead will be made as Roth 401(k) contributions. This change ensures that retirees age 50 and over can continue making catch-up contributions to their retirement savings.
Additionally, this update allows participants ages 60 to 63 to take advantage of the higher "super catch-up" contribution limits established under federal law.
If you have questions about how these changes may affect your retirement contributions, please contact the Trust Office.

Rest in Peace, Brother.
