    It really depends on which union you joined, was it AFL-CIO or what. Many funds will allow you to withdraw everything you put in with a one lump payment. They also can allow you to collect benefits when you reach their specified retirement age but at a much reduced rate since you did not work the 20 years that they apparently require. Best bet is to call your penion fund manager which can be googled.
