Membership in the Union Doesn’t Cost – It Pays!
Leigh Barker, UTCC Director
Membership in the Union provides the “standard” benefits of a:
- United voice in your work place
- Negotiated contract
- Protections against unfair treatment
- Process for resolving work-related disputes
- Team of WEAC attorneys dedicated strictly to supporting union issues
- Advocates on political and legislative issues
Membership in your local, UTCC ( United Technical College Council), WEAC and NEA also includes additional benefits and savings directly to members.
Three programs are automatically included in your union membership:
- The NEA Attorney Referral Program
- OnWEAC Saver’s Club
- NEA Dues-Tab Term Life Insurance
- The NEA Attorney Referral Program provides every NEA member access to affordable legal advice on personal matters. Each year members are entitled to two 30-minute consultation sessions free with a participating attorney. And if you need additional legal help, this program lets you get that help at a 30% discount off the participating attorneys’ usual fees.
