Glaziers Nor Cal Pension

Posted May 18, 2026

Attention Glaziers!

On 5/13/2026, BM/ST Williams and the trustees advocated for a 0.5 multiplier for the years 2005–2025. A great thing happened, and it passed unanimously.

This is a huge win for us as Glaziers, and as a fellow participant of this pension for the last 26 years, this is a monumental event for us. Many of us have been waiting for this moment for decades and hopefully it’s just the beginning of more improvements to come. Thank you to BMST Williams and all the trustees of the Northern California Glaziers Pension. 

More information and detailed breakdowns will be coming out soon, but here’s a basic example:

If your pension benefit was calculated at $2,000 based only on years worked from 2005 to 2025, with the new multiplier, your pension would now increase to $3,000. This is a major step forward for our members and proof that strong leadership and advocacy matter.

Plan Years Current Accrual Rates New Accrual Rates 
7/1/79 – 6/30/02 5.0% 5.0% 
7/1/02 – 6/30/03 2.6% 2.6% 
7/1/03 – 6/30/05 1.3% 1.5% 
7/1/05 – 6/30/25 1.0% 1.5% 
7/1/25+ 1.0% 1.0%
