1. Advise on the type of supplemental benefits Union members need – Who better to determine where negotiated benefits leave off and where we can help?

2. Direct a portion of our profit back into Labor and Labor-related causes. Such as: Scholarship funds, health and safety issues, and the Economic Policy Institute. We even have strike support, all of which goes through the board.

3. At the local level we have an agency structure that gets involved through the Public Relations Representative.

“In today’s economic times, public and personal financial security have never been more threatened. Public policy must be enacted to protect the whole, while supplemental insurance should be considered to protect your family’s specific needs. Life insurance and wage continuation

insurance are two benefits that are more essential than ever to protect working families.”
