Union Privilege, the AFL-CIO’s member benefits arm, provides dozens of benefits for members of participating unions—from discounts on everything from travel to Internet service to college scholarships.

Union Privilege exists to help union members enjoy life at a great price. By using the collective buying power of unions, Union Privilege can offer a variety of high-quality, discounted products and services exclusively to union working families, including:

• Loans,
• Insurance,
• Health services,
• Education services,
• Entertainment,
• Car rentals and insurance,
• Mortgages,
• Legal resources,
• Pet services,
• Travel and recreation,
• Computers and technology
• And everyday savings on flowers, music, health clubs and union-made apparel and other goods.

The AFL-CIO also negotiates volume-based discounts available for national, district and local unions on the basic services it takes to run a union movement, from phone service to car leasing. AFL-CIO-negotiated discounts for telecommunications and technology products and services alone save affiliate unions some $30 million a year.
