Union Plus is a nonprofit organization founded by the AFL-CIO in 1986 to provide excellent consumer benefit programs exclusively to union members (current and retired) and their families. Union Plus benefits were selected by union members, for union members. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for working families through our unique products and services. We believe that supporting our union members keeps our unions strong, so we offer unique financial assistance including strike benefits that support union members. Our staff are members of Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU), in Washington, DC and our volunteer board of directors is made up of top union leaders from more than 60 international unions.
