Collective Bargaining Agreement:
The Fund is maintained pursuant to collective bargaining
agreements between the Enterprise Association of Steam, Hot
Water, Hydraulic, Sprinkler, Pneumatic Tube, Compressed Air,
Ice Machine, Air Conditioning and General Pipe Fitters of
New York and Vicinity, Local Union 638 and the Mechanical
Contractors Association of New York, Inc. and other
employers. Copies of these agreements may be obtained upon
written request to the Fund Executive Administrator and may
be examined at the Fund Office or Union Office. The Fund
will provide information as to whether a particular employer
is a contributing employer and, if it is, its address, if a
written request for this information is made to the Fund
Executive Administrator.
Source of Financing:
The Fund is financed by contributions received from
employers who employ steamfitters covered by a collective
bargaining agreement, or other agreement, with Enterprise
Association of Steamfitters’ Local Union 638. The amount of
this contribution is determined by the agreement.
Plan assets are held by Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company
and invested under the direction of the individual
participant.
Management of Assets:
Generally, responsibility for the management of plan
assets rests with the Plan trustees. However, the Plan
allows participants to direct the investment of their
account balances in a group of the Putnam mutual funds.
While this arrangement allows participants to formulate and
implement their own investment philosophy, it is also
intended to relieve the Plan trustees of responsibility for
the direct consequences of the participants’ investment
decisions under ERISA § 404(c).
ERISA Classification:
Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, the Plan is classified as a profit sharing plan.
Because it is a defined contribution plan, the benefits it
provides are not insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation.
Plan Expenses:
Any Plan expenses relating to the maintenance and record
keeping for the participant’s account will be paid from his
account. Plan expenses directly connected to the purchase of
an investment for each participant’s account will be paid
from the individual participant’s account. The general
expenses of the Plan will be paid from the Plan by
allocating them among participants in proportion to their
account balances.
