UTUIA History
More
than 131 years ago, UTUIA predecessors made a commitment to join
together to protect fellow employees in the rail industry, and their
families, against losses sustained due to hardship, injury and death.
Because of the hazardous nature of their occupation, commercial insurance companies would not insure railroad employees.
As these employees were too generous to allow their fellow workers to
suffer, they assisted one another by taking up collections — passing
the hat, if you will — for the benefit of the afflicted worker, or for
the worker's family in the event of his death. Railroaders were
independent, however, and the idea of charity did not appeal to them.
From this history and tradition, the idea of mutual help was born.
