Union Plus Benefits

Union Plus is brought to you by Union Privilege, established by the AFL-CIO, to provide consumer benefits to members and retirees of participating labor unions.

As a result of UTU's return to the AFL-CIO, UTU members are now eligible for a variety of benefits provided by the Union Plus program.

Union Plus benefits stand for quality and service -- with prices working families can live with. Best of all, Union Plus programs are designed specifically for working families. Their benefits have added features that are especially helpful in cases of disability or layoffs.

Who can use these benefits?

You don't have to join Union Plus; as a member or retiree of a participating union, you and your family are automatically eligible for these benefits.

Their secret? Union power. Just as unions provide strength in the workplace, Union Plus provides strength in the marketplace. They deliver the best benefits through the collective buying power of millions of union members. And they do so without using union member dues.
