We spoke with Savanna, the HR Representative at George J. Igel & Co., one of the contractors who hires members from our union, and she shared something important:
• Short-Term Disability is one of the most widely used benefits among our members.
• It helps workers maintain income during illness or recovery.
• It gives companies peace of mind knowing their employees are protected during difficult times.
She also mentioned that many other unions they work with do not offer this benefit.
Benefits like this make a real difference for our members.
