Getting Started with Union Plus Benefits

Union Plus benefits uniquely-designed for union families

  • Labor collective strength: Leveraging the collective buying power of millions of union members, Union Privilege negotiates benefits & discounts for union families and advocates on behalf of union members for customer service.

 

  • Union member protection: All Union Plus programs are researched and monitored by staff and overseen by a volunteer board of top union officials.
  • Labor support and philanthropy — including scholarships, hardship grants, disaster relief, campaigns and donations that support working families’ interests.
  • Union member value and exclusives — including strike, disability and lay-off assistance not available in the public marketplace.

Learn more about the Union Plus background here.
 

Union Privilege is a not-for-profit organization created by the AFL-CIO to offer consumer Union Plus benefits to retired and active 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.

Start using the Union Plus benefits.


If you are a retired or active member of a labor union, you are automatically eligible for your union’s 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.

I am a Union Plus Credit Cardholder (?)

Union Plus Credit Card

Union members are automatically eligible for their union's Union Plus benefits and you do not need to be a Union Plus Credit Cardholder in order to access your union's Union Plus benefits.

But - if you are a Union Plus Credit Cardholder, you could be eligible for additional discounts.

    Help if you don’t know your union

    Your union membership dictates which Union Plus benefits you are eligible to use.

    1. What your national union’s name (not just your local number)? Scroll through the list we have to see if you recognize your union.
    2. What type of work do you do (select your occupation)?
    3. Do you have a union member card or union publication/letter that shows the name of your union? Find something with the name of your union, not just a local number.
    4. Is there a shop steward or work colleague you can ask what the name of your union is? You can even ask your human resources department to tell you the full name of your union?
    5. Do you have a Union Plus Credit Card? If so, the name and logo for your international union should appear on the front of the card.
