Stay Involved as a Retiree Member
JOIN THE APWU RETIREES DEPARTMENT TODAY
You helped build the union. You were there when the APWU fought for — and won — better wages, benefits, and working conditions. Now, as a postal retiree, you rely on the retirement benefits and healthcare coverage the union negotiated to enrich the quality of your life. Although you have moved on to a new chapter in your life, we hope you will remain involved with the union as an active member of the APWU Retirees Department.
For only $36 per year (which can be deducted in $3 increments from your monthly annuity check), your membership entitles you to a voice in union affairs and to participate in:
- The APWU Health Plan
- The APWU Mastercard
- Voluntary Benefits Plan programs
(Including Group Legal Services, Hospital Indemnity Insurance, and the Basic Care Hospital Plan). - APWU Accident Benefit Association protection against temporary disability, dismemberment, or death as a result of a covered accident. Remember, Accidents Never Retire!
- Union Plus discounts and services
You will also receive a certificate for a free $5,000 Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance policy, a continuing subscription to The American Postal Workermagazine, and access to the Members Only pages on the APWU Web site.
Joining the APWU Retirees Department is also a great way to stay in touch with old friends and make new ones! Participating in union activities is a great way to get involved. Click here for a list of chapters and information about how to form a chapter.
