My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Missouri/Illinois
I’ll try to make this clear and quick.
I work out of a local labor referral hall in Missouri. I traveled to Illinois and worked in their jurisdiction for long enough to be vested in their 401a.
Our pension plans are separate.
I have not worked in the out of town jurisdiction for over 2 years. Every government agency site I read says that you can withdraw money after you no longer work for an employer. Who’s my employer in this case. Even the union halls pamphlet says this money can be withdrawn after not contributing for 1 year or when you turn 59 1/2. It’s been 2 years since I worked there. When I inquired about this, they said that is for money added by their members above and beyond What the employer put in.
Do I have a right to this money now? I’m a couple years away from their age requirement. What kind of lawyer would I need to speak to?
Thanks
