Retirees
open up new ways to connect, give back, and thrive
Still Union. Still Strong.
Retirement doesn’t mean stepping away from the union — it’s just the beginning of a new chapter.
As a retiree of Laborers Local 362, you’re still a valued part of our union family. This next stage is all about staying connected, continuing to grow, and enjoying the benefits you’ve earned.
From healthcare options and social gatherings to educational workshops and financial resources, retirement with Local 362 comes with real perks. It’s also a chance to mentor the next generation, stand strong for workers’ rights, and stay involved in the movement you helped build.
Whether you’re joining us at retiree events, attending union meetings, or just keeping up with Local 362 news — we’re here to make your retirement as rewarding and meaningful as your years on the job.
