Refers to Local Union representing Participant for preponderance of Covered Hours earned prior to 7/1/82. For a Participant with-preponderance of hours under Local 11, the Benefit Units for any service on or after 6/1/80 will be determined by the Local in whose jurisdiction the hours were worked.

Benefit Unit per 1500 hours determined by period in which last Covered Hour worked, except as noted in (4) and (5) below. If last date worked is after 6/30/82, then Benefit Unit for 6/30/82 will be used for all hours worked up to that date. Beginning 7/1/82, benefit amount of 2.25% of Employer contributions.

Applicable only to Participants who had not retired as of 9/1/75.

$49.45 rate used only for hours worked 6/1/80-1/14/82. Hours through 5/31/80 use Benefit Unit based on last hour worked through 5/31/80 -- if service is continuous, all hours through 5/31/80 would use $40.45 Benefit Unit.

$55.95 rate used only for hours worked 1/15/82-6/30/82. See (4) above for Benefit Unit on hours prior to 1/15/82.
