Joint Benefit Trust is a multiemployer or \u201cTaft-Hartley\u201d trust fund established in 1972 as a result of a collective bargaining agreement between what is now the Producers Alliance of California and the Teamsters Cannery Council of California, including Teamsters Local 856 in (San Bruno\/Stockton\/Yuba City), Local 948 (Modesto\/Visalia) and Local 890 (Salinas). As healthcare costs increased rapidly during the latter 20th Century, the Trust was created to help control the costs specifically associated with providing medical, drug, dental, vision and other health benefits to union members working in the canning and food processing industry. In 1998, the Trust merged with the Medical Examination Trust which allowed the Trust to provide onsite health examinations. Today, the Joint Benefit Trust continues to provide benefits for over 6,000 full-time and seasonal workers in California. <\/p>\n

A Taft-Hartley trust fund is a multiemployer benefit trust that uses employer contributions and employee co-contributions set forth by the provisions of collective bargaining agreements to provide benefit plans to employees covered by such agreements. In the case of the Joint Benefit Trust (JBT), these plans are generally limited to group health and welfare insurance. JBT is jointly administered by a board of trustees consisting of an equal number of union and employer representatives. The JBT Board of Trustees currently consists of four union trustees appointed by the Teamsters Cannery Council of California, and four employer trustees appointed by the Producers Alliance of California.<\/p>\n
The JBT Board engages plan professionals to help them to manage the fund and provide them with information necessary to make prudent decisions. These plan professionals include:<\/p>\n
