Election Day is 7 Days Away

It's never too early to start planning how and where you'll vote on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Workers' rights are on the ballot. Anti-worker candidates are fighting tooth and nail to take control of the House and Senate so they can erode workers' rights, defund the NLRB, and take away OSHA's already limited enforcement powers. But you can make a difference!

Black Friday Car Shopping

  • 1 November 2022
This Black Friday, easily shop new and used cars online with the Union Plus Auto Buying Service. Plus, take advantage of your exclusive union member benefits:

  • Ready to sell your car? Get a cash offer from a local dealer in minutes
  • $100 rebate on new union-made cars*
  • Remote paperwork and vehicle delivery options available
  • Enjoy up to $2,000 in Auto Repair and Auto Deductible Reimbursements**.  

Disclaimer:
*If you purchase a new, qualifying union-assembled vehicle, you will receive a check for $100 within 6 to 8 weeks after purchase. (The rebate checks 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 rebate check 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 check.

**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.
