The Southern California Pipe Trades Christmas Bonus Plan is designed to provide an extra December benefit during retirement to help pensioners with holiday expenses.
The Christmas Bonus Fund was set up to provide benefits to eligible retirees of the Southern California Pipe Trades Retirement Fund.
Christmas Bonus Plan payments were developed through the negotiation efforts of District Council #16 and participating employers. The Plan is funded by active union members, whose employers make contributions on their behalf on a per-hour basis under a collective bargaining or participation agreement.
