I just signed up for AT&T, through upromise and got $40 towards college. Once my phone is activated, I'll sign up for the Union Plus discount and get 15% off service. I intentionally switched phone carriers so that I could support a good, unionized company. Thanks Union Plus! Sorry, Joe, I don't know what you're talking about.

AT&T has a long history of good relations with unions and has more full-time bargained jobs than any other private company in America. Signing up for AT&T means you would be directly supporting the 40,000 fellow union brothers and sisters who work at AT&T which I think is great way to show solidarity this Labor Day.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought AT&T was a major Tea Part contributor! Should we be asking our brothers and sisters to spend their discounts on companies looking to destroy the working class? Just thinking out loud...

    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.
