Benefits, retirement, growth – that is what comes to mind when I think about Local 469. I wanted to ensure that I would have a steady retirement income, when I come of age, as well as be able to leave something for those who I love and matter to me. Since joining and being a member for the last two years and a half, I can see that I made the right choice and the fruits of my labor are being enjoyed by my family. It really allowed me to achieve goals that were laid out a lot sooner than planned and it really assisted me in elevating my skills sets by working with those brothers and sisters who work at a high level of efficiency and accuracy.
