MEMBER BENEFITS

Not only does union membership entitle you to make nominations, vote in union elections, and serve on union committees, as well as strengthens our leverage to negotiate better pay, working conditions, and job security for all faculty; you’ll also gain access to a number of member benefits through the AAUP and AFT national unions. Within a few months of joining, you should receive membership cards and ID numbers for both national unions. If you have not received this information within three months, please contact us.

Here are some of the member benefits you’ll be able to access:

Discounts

AFT provides access to a number of discount programs, including AT&T wireless plans, car rentals, dental and vision discount programs, and some shopping discounts.


Insurance

AFT provides a number of free and discounted insurance options including accidental death & dismemberment, long-term care insurance, pet insurance, free trauma counseling, auto & home insurance, term life insurance, and disability.


AAUP publications

AAUP Offers webinars and guidebooks for faculty as well as provides discount publications including Chronicle of Higher Education, policy documents, and relevant books.


Student debt

As an AFT member you’ll get access to Summer, an online resource to help manage repayment and forgiveness options for student loans.
