Brothers and sisters helping one another when help is needed. That's what the Voluntary Fund is all about. Giving a family a helping hand when illness or injury keeps a Member off the job... Scholarships for our young people...
Every year, every day, your contributions to our Voluntary Fund count - in so many ways, in so many lives.
Contributions are used for charitable purposes and to promote the general welfare of all contributors.
The fund was established and is maintained by the Business Manager of our Local Union 798. Our parent Union - the United Association - has nothing what-so-ever to do with it.
The Voluntary Fund is a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization. Contributions to the fund are tax deductible.
Contributions to the Voluntary Fund are purely voluntary - and deeply appreciated.
Contribution Through Your Steward.
Your Union Steward will collect and submit Voluntary Fund contributions by check or money order made payable to PIPELINER'S VOLUNTARY FUND. Your Steward will be responsible for making sure your contribution is properly processed.
>Before you can contribute through your Steward, you must sign a Voluntary Fund Contribution Card - and the card must be signed by a "witness" other than yourself. (Normally, your Steward will "witness" the card.) To accept your contribution, we must have a copy of the card on file.
