About Northwest Carpenters Trusts
Northwest Carpenters Trusts administers multiemployer plans in Oregon and Washington. A collective bargaining agreement determines the amount due to each Plan per hour for each employee covered by the agreement. The collective bargaining agreement also provides that contributions must be paid to the plan on a monthly basis. Contributions are received and held in trust by the Board of Trustees, pending payment of benefits, administrative expenses, and premiums for life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment benefits.

Board of Trustees
The Trusts are administered by joint committee with labor and management equally represented. Trustees are required by federal law to act exclusively in the interest of the Plan and its participants and beneficiaries, regardless of who elected or appointed the Trustee. The Board of Trustees determines Plan benefits and any changes to the Plan. The Board is also responsible for the investment and reinvestment of Plan assets.
The Benefit plans are administered by a joint labor-management Board of Trustees with the assistance of a salaried administrator. Contributions paid into the benefit plans are received and held in trust by the Board of Trustees, pending payment of benefits, administrative expenses, and premiums for life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment benefits.
