Labor Day is fast approaching!

We are fired up and ready to celebrate and honor the working people who built this country by marching, rallying, and attending union events across the nation.

Will you join us for an event?

Despite the troubling times we're facing, working people still carry with them a vision of a better, fairer future. In the streets, on the shop floor, in union halls, and in the halls of Congress, workers are rising up and fighting for the economy and country we all deserve.

We hope to see you at one of the many events being held nationwide around Labor Day weekend and wish for you and your loved ones a very happy Labor Day.

In solidarity,
Team OPEIU

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.
