When you are looking for construction jobs in Kansas City, it is easy to focus only on your next paycheck. However, a truly successful career is measured by how well you are set up for the day you finally hang up your tool belt. At Laborers’ Local 663, we believe that hard work today should guarantee a dignified life tomorrow. In the fast-paced Kansas City construction industry, the security of a union pension is the ultimate safety net for you and your family.
Why a Union Pension Beats a 401(k)
In many non-union roles, “retirement” is a gamble. You might be offered a 401(k) that fluctuates with the stock market, leaving your future at the mercy of Wall Street. As part of the labor union benefits provided by LU 663, our members participate in a “defined benefit” pension plan.
This means your retirement isn’t based on market luck; it’s a guaranteed monthly check based on your years of service and hours worked. For recruits, this provides peace of mind that your future is being built on a solid foundation from day one.
Stability for Contractors and Recruits
For contractors in KC, offering a secure pension plan is a powerful tool for retention. When workers know their long-term future is secure, they are more dedicated, more productive, and more likely to stay with a company for the long haul.
- Predictable Growth: Your retirement credits grow as you work.
- Portability: You can move between different union contractors without losing your benefits.
- Family Protection: Many pension options include survivor benefits to protect your loved ones.
