Note 13. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS

 

The Company employs both union and non-union employees and maintains several benefit plans.

 

Union

 

Substantially the entire workforce at AIM is subject to a union contract with the United Service Workers Union TUJAT Local 355, EIN 11-1772919 (the “Union”). The Agreement was renewed as of December 31, 2021 and expires on December 31, 2024 and covers all of AIM’s production personnel, of which there are approximately 131 people. AIM is required to make a monthly contribution to each of the Union’s United Welfare Fund and the United Services Worker’s Security Fund. This is the only pension benefit required by the Agreement and the Company is not obligated for any future defined benefit to retirees. The Agreement contains a “no-strike” clause, whereby, during the term of the Agreement, the Union will not strike and AIM will not lockout its employees. Medical benefits for union employees are provided through a policy with Insperity Services, Inc. (“Insperity”), the costs of which are substantially borne by the Company. In addition, the Company is obligated to make contributions for union dues and a security fund (defined contribution plan) for the benefit of each union employee. Contributions to the security fund amounted to $147,000 and $134,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

The Company accounts for its Union retirement plan under ASU No. 2011-09, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits-Multiemployer Plans (Subtopic 715-80): Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan” (“ASU 2011-09”). ASU 2011-09 requires additional disclosures about an employer’s participation in a multiemployer pension plan. ASU 2011-09 applies to nongovernmental entities that participate in multiemployer plans. The Union’s retirement plan is a defined contribution plan. As such, the Company is not responsible for the obligations of other companies in the Union’s retirement plan and no further disclosures are required.
