How can voluntary benefits help to support union groups?
Today, union organizers are tasked with advocating and protecting member rights, including protections for benefits like health and life insurance, retirement plans, pensions, and more. But despite those efforts, maintaining membership can be difficult; the share of workers represented by a union continues to decline year over year. Offering strong benefit options can be an effective way to recruit and retain members.
- Some union jobs can be more physically demanding than others. Voluntary benefits can provide added financial security with benefits that can be used to help cover member expenses if they are injured or out of work.
- Group rate options are available, which can help save members money compared to acquiring similar products in the private market.
- Offering voluntary benefits provides flexibility for members to opt into products and services that fit their personal needs.
- A voluntary enrollment provides a touchpoint to show that the union is active and engaged in supporting their members and can be a platform to support other initiatives.
