Pullman Company. Pensions and Group Insurance Dept.

In 1922, the Pullman Company inaugurated a death benefit plan that was superseded in 1929 by the more comprehensive "Plan of Group Insurance," which included death benefits, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and weekly sickness and accident insurance.

Because it was a voluntary plan to which both the company and employee contributed, and because many workers lost their coverage during layoffs when they were required to remit monthly premiums, group insurance did not cover all employees.
