Join the UTU Retiree Program!

Retired UTU members in the U.S. and Canada, as well as those individuals nearing retirement or interested in pension and other issues affecting transportation-labor families, are invited to participate in a voluntary program designed especially for them, the UTU RETIREE PROGRAM, created under authority granted in Article 83 of the UTU Constitution.
With annual dues set at only US $9 per year, membership in this fast-growing program doesn't cost -- it pays!

UTU RETIREE PROGRAM MEMBERS ENJOY:

An annual UTU calendar depicting UTU members on the job. Besides helping to keep track of important dates, the calendar includes a section in the back for recording the information and phone numbers important to you and your family;

Discounts on car-rental rates at National Car Rental in the United States and Tilden Rent-A-Car in Canada. A current UTU Retiree Program membership card is all that is needed to receive the discount at the rental location;

A wallet-size medical information card which contains a microfilm chip listing the member's name and address, doctor's name and address, medications being taken, allergies, special medical conditions and emergency telephone numbers. Spouses may obtain a similar card for a nominal fee;

An important-papers folder ideal for filing insurance policies, wills, stock, bond and mutual-fund certificates, marriage certificates and other important documents;

A 40-page L.I.F.E. Organizer booklet designed for recording the legal, insurance, financial and estate information you and your family need;

"A Senior's Health Pass," a booklet for recording and updating your complete medical history, special diets, and more, making communication with your doctor or other care provider more effective and accurate;

Automatic enrollment in the UTU Travelers Club, which sponsors excursions geared to the interests of retirees. Trips, announced in the UTU News, have included train tours of Mexico and Canada, and cruises of Hawaii, Alaska and the Caribbean;

Prescription drug purchasing via mail through Merck-Medco (formerly National Rx Services). Members who call Merck-Medco's toll-free number are sent a special packet containing pre-addressed mailers and instructions explaining how the mail-order program works. (This benefit only available to U.S. members);

The UTU News, our monthly newspaper covering subjects of interest to active and retired individuals from the transportation industry, including developments affecting Railroad Retirement and Social Security.
