Our friends at Union Plus want you to know that with Labor Day approaching, you can celebrate the benefits of your union membership with several money saving programs and, at the same time, support your union brothers and sisters who provide the services or make the goods.  

You can save money on wireless service and smartphones with AT&T, the only national unionized wireless provider. Go to UnionPlus.org/ATT and save 15 percent on select data and phone plans. In addition, when you use your Union Plus Credit Card to buy a smartphone from AT&T, you'll get a rebate up to $100.

In the market for a new car? Support your fellow union brothers and sisters at the UAW and buy union made in the USA this Labor Day. Receive up to $550 cash back when you purchase a new union-made vehicle using the Union Plus Auto Buying program. Here’s how it works.

• Union-Made Vehicle Rebate—$100 back when you purchase a new union-made vehicle through the Union Plus Auto Buying service from TrueCar at UnionPlus.org/AutoBuying.
• Green Vehicle Energy Rebate—Another $100 if the new union-made vehicle is also an EPA-certified energy-efficient vehicle.
• Auto Down-Payment Rebate—10 percent back (up to $350) when you purchase a new or used car union-made vehicle and place $500-$3,500 of your down payment on your Union Plus Credit Card.

Here’s a list of union-made vehicles from 2000-2012. You also can text CARS to 22555.

Hardworking union members help us enjoy travel every day. Thanks to your union membership, you also can benefit from some Union Plus travel discounts at UnionPlusTravel.com.

You can go green and give a boost to your pocket book, the planet and union workers by improving your home’s energy efficiency. Union Plus helps you support and save on home energy improvements when you use your Union Plus Credit Card to sign up for an HVAC annual maintenance plan with a SMART union contractor and receive a $50 rebate. When they come to your house, you’ll appreciate the hard work of these SMART union members, representing a recent merger of sheet metal and utility workers.

Union families also can receive rebates up to $500 when you use your Union Plus Credit Card to purchase a new heating/cooling system, new Energy Star appliances, insulation or other green home improvements. See all your green benefits at UnionPlus.org/Green.

And don’t forget that these unionized companies provide heating/cooling systems: Carrier, GE, Magic Air or York.
