Your Raise Starts July 1 – Make It Count!
Posted June 26, 2026
Beginning July 1, members of Local 159 will receive a total package increase of more than $3.40 per hour. Through the hard work of District Council 16 and the strength of our membership, this is one of the largest negotiated increases our members have ever received.
FREE FINANCIAL PLANNING

As construction workers, we know our jobs can be physically demanding. While we take pride in our work, most of us also know that we won’t be able to work at this pace forever. That’s why it’s important to think beyond today’s paycheck and start planning for tomorrow.
Whether you’re just starting your career, raising a family, preparing for retirement, or somewhere in between, there is no better time to take control of your financial future. With inflation, market uncertainty, and a constantly changing economy, having a plan can make a big difference.
To help our members get the most value from their hard-earned wages, District Council 16 has partnered with Benco Union Advisors, a leading provider of financial education and advisory services for union members and their families.
At no cost to you, members now have access to:
- Certified financial advisors

- Investment education
- Financial wellness resources
- Personalized guidance for your financial goals
