Our Association carries the "Plan 1" coverage. A summary of the plan is shown below.

LDF Benefit Plan 1 – Civil, Criminal and Administrative Actions

A Participant whose Member Association has chosen Benefit Plan 1 shall be entitled to the following services:

a)      Legal representation in any civil or criminal action and representation by a Panel Attorney or Panel Field Representative in an administrative disciplinary action brought against him or her arising from any act or omission of the Participant within the scope of his or her employment, including civil, criminal or administrative disciplinary action brought as the result of the Participant’s involvement in Concerted Labor Activity, subject to certain conditions.
