Members participating in the Local 237 Welfare Fund can access free, professional social services.  Our members have tough jobs and, from time to time, we all encounter tough personal challenges.  Our union is committed to helping members find possible solutions to those challenges. Local 237’s licensed social workers are here to connect people to much needed assistance and resources.  They also facilitate positive change through their work.
