In this second
edition ofInside
Edgewe
focus on
benefits
available to
members fromUnion
Plus.
Everyone knows
that the core
business of the
union is to
negotiate and
enforce good
contracts for
members, which
we do through
negotiations and
grievance
work. Additionally,
we dedicate
funds from dues
money to address
issues
pertaining to
safety,
scheduling,
hotels, and many
other aspects of
our working
lives.
The benefits ofUnion
Plusare
somewhat unique
in that we are
able to offer
these to you
without spending
any funds from
dues money. This
is possible
because Union
Privilege (which
is affiliated
with the
AFL-CIO) makes
all arrangements
with each of the
listed
vendors. The
priority in our
negotiations
with these
vendors is to
ensure solid
member value and
the widest range
of unique
benefits and
features at
competitive
prices.
Hopefully, you
will have a few
moments to
"click" through
theUnion
Plus websiteand
find products
you want at
desirable
prices.
In future
editions, we
will feature
individual
products or new
ones that are
made available.
Please do feel
free to provide
us with your
feedback.
