Disclaimer:
*If you purchase a new, qualifying union-assembled vehicle, you will receive a gift card for $100 within 6 to 8 weeks after purchase. (The gift cards come from Union Plus and not from the dealer). Union Plus receives a monthly report on the sales activity from the program provider to verify that a gift card should be sent to a member who purchased a qualifying vehicle. This process is automatic, there are no forms to complete. Keep a copy of your Union Plus Auto Buying referral email that can assist in researching your purchase if you think you qualified for a rebate but did not receive a gift card.

**Some benefits not available in NY or NH. Terms and conditions apply. Auto Deductible Reimbursement is provided by Voyager Indemnity Insurance Company, an Assurant company.

Happy Independence Day

  • 4 July 2025



To Our OPEIU Family,

As we celebrate our nation’s independence today, we're reminded of the millions of people working without a union contract that could transform their lives for the better.

The power of a union contract can help make the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness we celebrate today a reality. As union members, we all share the responsibility to help non-union workers realize their full potential through the power of union membership. Our mission, today and every day, remains to extend the safety and security that stems from a union contract to as many people as possible.

We wish you and your loved ones a very happy Fourth of July!
