Trustees
The Building Service 32BJ Benefit Funds include five separate multi-employer funds that deliver a broad range of benefits to more than 95,000 members and 180,000 covered lives with a combined asset portfolio of about $4 billion. The funds are the Building Service 32BJ Health Fund, the Building Service 32BJ Pension Fund, the Building Service 32BJ Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan, the Thomas Shortman Training, Scholarship and Safety Fund, and the Building Service 32BJ Legal Services Fund. Each Fund is administered by a joint Board of Trustees consisting of Union Trustees and Employer Trustees with equal voting power.
Union Trustees
Manny Pastreich
Chairman, All Funds
President of SEIU, Local 32BJ
 Before becoming President, Manny was 32BJ's director of bargaining and Secretary Treasurer. In this role, as number two to former President Kyle Bragg, he participated in bargaining every major agreement within the union, helping to win wage increases, shoring up members' benefits and expanding protections for the 175,000 SEIU 32BJ members from NYC, D.C., Boston, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, Florida and beyond.
Manny cut his teeth helping to bring thousands of members into SEIU and 32BJ. This included his work leading research (1992-1996) for the Justice for Janitors campaign in D.C. – that saw janitors and allies blocking bridges and major arteries – and as an executive supporting 32BJ's successful new organizing of tens of thousands of security officers and airport workers in the 2000s. He combines an understanding of organizing with a reputation as a strong hand at the bargaining table.
Manny joined 32BJ SEIU as a research director from 2002-2004, after which he became director of Collective Bargaining Benefits Fund and a Taft-Hartley Benefit Fund trustee covering several pension, health benefit, training and legal funds. Manny previously served as a board member at the Latin American Youth Center and his son's little league board.
