What It Is
The Cement Masons and Plasterers Trust Fund is a retirement savings plan set up by cement masons and plasterers unions to provide financial security for their members in retirement.

How It Works
The trust fund is financed by employer contributions, which are calculated based on a percentage of each employee’s wages. The money in the trust fund is then used to pay benefits to retirees, disability benefits to members who are unable to work, and death benefits to the families of deceased members.

The Cement Masons and Plasterers Trust Fund provides a number of benefits to its members, including:
