The amount would vary by location, union, and how much was paid into your fund. I have 36 years in the trade and i am retiring at age 55 with a pension of 2900 with a 50% spousal option that brings my pension down to 2610. Our union doubles our pension from age 55 to 62 if you meet certain requirements, that I meet. This brings my retirement to 5510 gross dollars a month. I do have to pay federal tax out of this, but no FICA, state tax our union dues. We also have an annuity fund that I have been in from its inception in 1981. As of 2/1/2011 i have 510,000 in this fund. When I reach 62 the double pension will stop, but the NEBF and the international pension will start along with social security. The total retirement with all four sources will be about 5600 dollars plus any money taken out of the annuity. This amount is not the average pension a union electrician will make, but one who worked out of the north east with no lost time and at foreman and GF rate.
