- Presentation will take place at an official retirement celebration or ceremony, if desired.
2. Customized Retirement Letterman Jacket
Members who have served 20 or more years will receive a customized retirement letterman jacket.
- The jacket will include the member’s name, the union logo, start date, and the number of years served.
- The jacket will be presented during an official retirement ceremony, along with an optional speech or acknowledgment by leadership, if desired.
General Guidelines:
- Retirement Ceremony: The union will host a formal or informal retirement ceremony depending on the retiree’s preference. Family members and close colleagues are invited to attend.
- Special Recognition: Employees with notable achievements or leadership roles during their career may receive additional recognitions at the discretion of leadership.
- Notification Period: To be eligible for retirement recognition, the member must notify us immediately at least one month in advance of their planned retirement date.

These guidelines ensure that employees are appropriately honored for their service and dedication.
