Roofers & Waterproofers Research and Education Joint Trust Fund
The Roofers & Waterproofers Research and Education Joint Trust Fund is a jointly administered labor-management trust formed under Section 302 (c) (9) of the Labor-Management Relations (Taft Hartley) Act. This research and education trust is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of an equal number of labor and management representatives. This Trust has been and is currently funded by contributions from the International Union, grants from OSHA and, since January 2009, through hourly contributions worked under collective bargaining agreements.
