IUEC Announces Voluntary Income Protection Plan

The International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC) on August 1 announced the IUEC Voluntary Income Protection (VIP) Plan to enhance financial security of all active U.S.-, Puerto Rico- and Guam-based full dues-paying IUEC members. IUEC General President Frank Christensen introduced the plan to all regional directors, union officers and members by saying, “Member safety and the ability to financially protect themselves and their loved ones is a priority for IEUC.” Administered by union benefits specialist Union One, the plan boasts generous coverage for short-term disability, long-term disability and accidental death and dismemberment, or AD&D. The first open-enrollment period ends on August 23 with a coverage effective date of September 1, and the second one invites members to enroll by October 25 for a coverage effective date of November 1.
