I.B.E.W. Local 1579 Pension Plan Board is the administrative body that oversees the pension fund for members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1579, based in Augusta, Georgia. The organization represents electrical workers in the construction industry throughout the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA). Established as part of the IBEW’s broader network of local unions, Local 1579 provides retirement benefits and pension management services for its qualifying members. The pension plan is a multi-employer defined benefit plan, structured to provide retirement security for union electrical workers who have dedicated their careers to the electrical construction industry. The Board of Trustees, typically composed of both union and employer representatives, manages the fund’s investments and ensures compliance with federal regulations, including ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) requirements. Through ibew1579.org, the organization provides members access to pension-related information, forms, and resources. The website serves as a portal for active members and retirees to stay informed about their benefits and pension plan updates. The Local 1579 pension plan represents one component of the broader benefits package offered to IBEW members, which often includes health insurance and other retirement savings options.
