Joint Trusteeship Clause Samples
A Joint Trusteeship clause establishes that two or more parties will act together as trustees over certain assets or property. In practice, this means that all decisions regarding the management, investment, or distribution of the trust assets must be made collectively by the appointed trustees, rather than by a single individual. This arrangement ensures shared responsibility and oversight, reducing the risk of unilateral actions and promoting transparency in the administration of the trust.

Joint Trusteeship. The Canadian Labour Congress and the Unions agree to Joint Trusteeship of the Pension Plan. The general approach agreed to in establishing Joint Trusteeship is as follows:
1) The Pension Trust Agreement between the Unions and the Employer will be developed through the Pension Advisory Committee by no later than one year following ratification of the collective agreement. Once developed, the Pension Trust Agreement will be recommended to each bargaining unit and the Executive Committee for ratification.
2) The Pension Advisory Committee will consider in its deliberations to develop a Pension Trust Agreement the ongoing administration of the plan, investment issues, the hiring of service providers (actuaries, fund managers, custodians, etc.), required contributions of the plan member and CLC as well as financing and amortization of future actuarial deficits.
3) The Canadian Labour Congress will be responsible for any audited actuarial deficit that exists on the date that the Trust Agreement for Joint Administration of the Plan comes into effect. At the point following the start of Joint Administration of the Plan, when the plan is in a surplus position the CLC’s responsibility for the prior deficit will end.
4) Trustees and plan members will be provided with training.
5) Benefit changes and the allocation of surplus are still to be resolved in collective bargaining. Trustees can agree to actuarially neutral benefit changes.
6) The voting strength in the Board of Trustees will be equally divided between the union/plan member representatives, and the employer. Union/plan member representation may include representatives of retirees. IAMAW Local Lodge 3111 CULR and COPE Local 225 will share equally both the union/plan member representation and the retiree representation on the Board. Board members will have alternates.
