The Central Pension Fund (CPF) is a multi-employer pension fund established in 1960 to provide retirement, disability and death benefits to members of, and individuals represented by, the International Union of Operating Engineers. Plan benefits are based upon annual employer contributions for participants which are reported to CPF from employer locations.

CPF is governed by a Board of Trustees comprised of employee and participating employer representatives. CPF's responsibilities include servicing participants and employers, supporting the employers and unions by maintaining a pension plan that will attract and retain employees, fulfilling the fund's fiduciary role and ultimately paying pension benefits.

International Union of Operating Engineers

The IUOE is an affiliation of some 123 local unions located throughout the United States and Canada. Each local has a specific jurisdiction where it is chartered to represent members. Some local unions only represent particular crafts within their regions. The IUOE represents a broad spectrum of occupations. Therefore, our locals are normally divided into two categories: Hoisting & Portable, and Stationary.

Hoisting & Portable locals represent members who usually work in the construction field using heavy equipment like bulldozers, cranes and scrapers. The members could also work as mechanics, oilers, and surveyors.

Stationary locals represent members who usually work in the building maintenance field. This includes building engineers in a variety of public occupations and facilities. These Locals also represent a range of health care employees, including skilled maintenance employees, biomedical technicians, emergency medical technicians and registered nurses.
