About Us
The G.M.P. – Employers Retiree Trust has been of service to its contributing employers’ eligible hourly retirees and their spouses for over 50 years.
Participants in the Trust are eligible retirees who were members of what is known as the GMP (Glass, Molders, Pottery, Plastics & Allied Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC) and who retired from one of our contributing employers. The Trust participants include eligible retirees and their spouses. (A spouse is considered to be eligible only if they were married to the retiree at the time of retirement.) Dependent children are not eligible to be covered by the Trust.
Since 1966, the Trust has paid out over $893 million in medical and other benefits to its participants. Today, there are approximately 17,000 participants in the Trust’s Plan of Benefits.
The Plan of Benefits is administered by the Trust office in Fort Myers, Florida.
