The IFT, through its affiliation with the American Federation of Teachers and the AFL-CIO, works to provide you and your family high-quality consumer benefits, discounts and services to stretch your hard-earned dollar.

At the national level, the AFL-CIO’s Union Plus program offers credit card, mortgage loan, insurance and other programs to help union families.

The American Federation of Teachers offers AFT Plus, with programs for financial services, travel, insurance, discounts on a variety of products and services and more. Click on the banner ad below to take advantage of the featured benefit of the month.

The IFT also offers several supplementary member benefit programs for union members. And, as always, we urge you to support your brothers and sisters in other labor unions by purchasing union-made products and by patronizing union shops.

For your personal legal needs, such as wills, real estate, divorce or other matters, the IFT has negotiated reduced rates with law firms in Chicago, suburban and downstate locations. For a current listing of attorneys, contact the IFT at 800/942-9242, x4052.

Your local union may have also negotiated discounts with local merchants. Check with your building representative or your local union president. Or contact us if you have a suggestion for a new member benefit.
