The
AFSCME Advantage
Union

Off the job, the Union Privilege benefits, endorsed by AFSCME, give you and
your family more buying power in the marketplace.
With
the savings theses members-only benefits provide-- being an AFSCME member makes
sense.

Why
We Offer Benefits
Why
does AFSCME provide benefits for union members and their families?
We
offer benefits to members because the programs help union members and their
families in their daily lives, resulting in greater overall satisfaction with
the union. Through AFSCME Advantage, members are able to save time and money
at home, when they're off the job.
Of
course, you may be wondering whether it's the union's place to endorse the Union
Privilege benefits. But when you consider that unions originally were created
to serve as "benefit societies" for members-- or as cradle-to-grave
providers -- then it's only natural that AFSCME Advantage benefits, union membership
doesn't cost, it pays.
