Just as unions provide strength in the workplace, the AFL-CIO’s UnionPlus program provides strength in the marketplace. It delivers a wide variety of discounts, special offers and other benefits through the collective buying power of millions of AFL-CIO members, all without ever using union dues. But as a dues-paying member, you would be eligible for:
- Discounts of 5% off Goodyear tires and 10% off Goodyear service.
- Up to 12% off certain Dell computers.
- Discounts of 5% off Cingular Wireless monthly rates.
- Up to 25% off Budget and Avis car rentals.
- Discounts of 15% off flower deliveries.
- Monthly discounts of 20% to 60% at Bally’s and some other health clubs.
And that’s only a sample. The UnionPlus program also offers:
Benefits for Family and Home: Discounts on Internet service, moving, legal services, union-made clothing, veterinary services and subscriptions to ConsumerReports.org. Plus scholarships and information on college financial aid.
Recreation and Vacation Benefits: Discounts on music CDs, movie tickets, video rentals, books, theme parks, theaters, sporting events, cruises, resort condominium rentals, recreational vehicle rentals and international travel packages.
Financial Services: Credit cards offering low interest rates and no annual fees; mortgages, home equity loans and personal loans at competitive rates; low-cost online tax preparation; low-cost auto, accident, life and accidental death insurance; union check printing; and free credit counseling.
