Darrell Roybal of Lakewood, CO, is an elevator mechanic member of the International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC) Local 25. When Roybal decided to buy his first house, he chose the Union Plus Mortgage Program with its unique benefits exclusive for union families.

“Union Plus offered interest-free assistance in case I’m injured on the job or in the event of a strike or lockout,” Darrell says.

Roybal says that the service that he experienced made the process of buying his first home less intimidating. “It was a scary decision, just thinking of all the closing costs and everything you need to buy your first home,” he says. “Union Plus made it easy.”

Even after 15 years in IUEC and 20 years as a union man, Roybal says he’s still discovering all the benefits of going union. “This was my first experience with Union Plus,” he says. “But once we got a Union Plus mortgage, I immediately went online to learn about other Union Plus programs. I discovered we could get a 15% discount on wireless service from AT&T that’s been a big savings. And now I’m looking into applying for Union Plus scholarships for the kids.”

1. I hope this is restricted to just union members that pay their dues.

If they are in a RTW state and refuse to pay their full dues they shouldn't receive this benefit.

2. You are correct

They must be a dues paying member to join and enjoy the benefits of membership.
