Taft-Hartley Multi-Employer Benefit Plans

The Taft-Hartley Act allows union employees at private companies to join forces with other union groups to set up health plans and other benefits. Section 302(c)(5) of Taft-Hartley, also known as the Labor Management Relations Act, provides for multi-employer health, welfare, and benefit plans, which must meet the following three criteria: (1) one or more employers contribute to (2) a plan collectively bargained with each participating employer (2) with the plan and its assets jointly managed by a board of trustees whose members are equally drawn from labor and management.

Taft-Hartley plans may provide various types of benefits:

  • Academic scholarships
  • Apprenticeships and training
  • Child care services
  • Disability and accident insurance
  • Employee legal services
  • Housing assistance
  • Life insurance
  • Medical care and hospitalization
  • Mental health coverage
  • Pension benefits

  • Supplemental unemployment benefits
  • Vacation, holiday, and severance
