Notice of Temporary Permissible Employment at the Millstone Nuclear Power Plant

Wednesday, March 11, 2026

Based on the volume of current union iron work in Connecticut, the Boards of Trustees of the Iron Workers' Locals No. 15 and 424 Pension and Extended Benefit Funds expect that there will be a temporary shortage of union iron workers to perform work at the Millstone Nuclear Power Plant (Millstone).

While working at Millstone would not present any issues for a current active Iron Worker, it might create problems for a recently retired Iron Worker who is receiving a monthly benefit from our Pension Fund (a Pensioner). As it is very possible a Pensioner with experience working at a Nuclear Power Plant could decide to "unretire" and perform work at Millstone, the Boards are jointly issuing this notice to outline:

• A limited exception to the Pension Fund's "Suspension of Benefits" Rules for those Pensioners who return to work in Covered Employment at Millstone ONLY, and
• What will happen in the event that a Pensioner who performs such work has current coverage under the Retiree Programs of the Extended Benefit Fund (whether the Ages 58-65 Retirees Program, OR the United HealthCare Medicare Advantage Plan with Prescription Drug Program (MAPD) administered by Labor First/RetireeFirst).

This temporary exception will have a 90-day window from March 17, 2026 through June 15, 2026.

If you have such experience and are interested in performing this work, please reach out to your Local Union as follows for further details and information:

• Local Union 15: Contact Business Manager, Mr. Bret Wells, at 860-249-7639
• Local Union 424: Contact Business Manager, Mr. Gregory Schultz, at 203-787-4154
