Unique Union Member Assistance
Union Plus benefits – the only non-profit consumer benefits organization created and endorsed by the AFL-CIO -- are uniquely designed for union members.
We’re committed to supporting the labor movement – and it shows in our mission, programs and on-going services.

Union Plus tailors its programs to the needs and interests of working families. When union members using Union Plus programs are faced with special circumstances, we are here to help.
- LABOR'S COLLECTIVE STRENGTH
You know about your union’s collective bargaining power. We use the same collective negotiating strength of more than 13 million union members to provide you and other union consumers with competitive advantages to enhance your daily living and strengthen your family's future.

- FINANCIAL HARDSHIP SUPPORT & PHILANTHROPY
Supporting union members in times of need is critical. That's why we developed the only labor-backed grants (money that does not need to be repaid), disaster relief fund and other special programs designed to give back to the labor community. You benefit from union-focused features and grants that are simply not available elsewhere, including:
In addition, Union Privilege participates in targeted organizing campaigns and makes donations that support working families’ interests - e.g. Habitat for Humanity donations.
Strike benefits
Layoff assistance
Mortgage assistance
Save My Home Hotline
Disability benefits
Health care assistance
Credit & budget counseling
Disaster Relief Fund
- ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
We follow "green" business practices and support emerging partnerships between labor and environmental groups, such as the Blue Green Alliance with the United Steelworkers (USW). Plus, we've added a few incentive programs to help union members go "green" while saving you money.
