Get Started with Union Plus Benefits!

New to Union Plus benefits or just need a refresher? Here are six easy steps to increase your Union Plus know-how and begin your voyage through the Union Plus site:


1. Learn more about the Union Plus background here.

Union Privilege is a not-for-profit corporation created by the AFL-CIO to offer consumer Union Plus benefits to union members and their families. Union Plus is the trusted brand name that over 3 million union members rely upon for consumer-related benefits. We are the only benefits organization endorsed by the AFL-CIO and its over 60 international unions.



2. Find out if you're eligible to start using the Union Plus benefits.

  • If you are a retired or active member of an AFL-CIO affiliated union, you are automatically eligible for Union Plus benefits. You get these benefits because you are a union member - so feel free to start using them today! You do not need to have the Union Plus Credit Card to use all the rest of the Union Plus benefits described on this site - but, of course, the Union Plus Credit Card is a great part of our family of benefits.

  • Each international union selects which Union Plus benefits its members are eligible to use (and local unions follow the international union selection). Click here to find out which Union Plus benefits are available to you.


3. Union members deserve the best customer service, so Union Privilege has a unique Member Advocate program that ensures your voice is heard.

4. Union Plus benefits = big $avings for you.

Why pay more? As a union member, your unique benefits could mean savings of over $3,600 in one year. Calculate your average annual Union Plus savings here. There's power in numbers.



5. It's not just the money savings that makes Union Plus benefits appealing.

The programs are also designed specifically for union members, so we include things like strike/layoff protection, union-made products and more. Learn more about these unique benefits here.



6. New benefits and updates to existing benefits are common, so you'll want to revisit this site and if you haven't already, sign up for E-News to stay informed about all your benefits so you can continue to save money and enjoy the value Union Plus programs promise.
