About this Retirement Planning Site

Union Privilege understands that many Americans need help navigating the world of retirement planning. The Union Plus Retirement Site—UnionPlusRetirement.com—was created to help working families and individuals learn more about how to begin to prepare for retirement—using practical information, tools and links.

The Union Plus Retirement Site was created by Union Privilege, a consumer benefits organization offering Union Plus programs to union families. The AFL-CIO created Union Privilege in 1986 to provide union members/retirees and their families with valuable consumer benefits and discounts. With Union Plus benefits, union membership "pays" at work and at home.

Union Plus benefits include the:

Union Plus Credit Card,
Mortgages,
Auto insurance,
UnionSecure life insurance,
Legal service,
Education services and scholarships,
Special help for hardship through the Union Plus Credit Card Safety Net programs,
And more. Visit UnionPlus.org for details.

NOTE: Union Privilege/Union Plus benefits does not offer any pensions, mutual funds or other retirement investment programs. Union members should contact their union or employer directly for information on their retirement plans.

Typically, a union member or employee receives a pension and/or 401(k) or other retirement account through his/her employer—and sometimes these accounts are negotiated by the union representing the employees. For specific questions on your employer's retirement investment opportunities, please contact your human resources department, union representative (e.g., shop steward) or your benefits administrator.

The Alliance for Retired Americans (the Alliance) unites retirees who are committed to activism and want to influence the policies of government that affect all older Americans.
