Leaders Can Save Up to 22% on AT&T Wireless Service

Union Plus partners with AT&T to provide the best deals for union members. AT&T, which employs around 40,000 members of the Communications Workers of America (CWA), understands the needs of union members. Not only does AT&T provide union members a 15 percent discount on select monthly plans, but the company provides discounts to union employees and local offices as well.

Union employees, those receiving a paycheck from a union, can save up to 18 percent on their individual wireless plans or for the ­first phone in a family plan. Employees can switch to AT&T to receive the discount, or enroll in the employee discount program if AT&T is already their wireless provider.

Union locals can save up to 22 percent on quali­fied monthly service charges through an AFL- CIO negotiated discount. Discounts cover a wide range of services, including teleconferencing and internet service. To access this discount, union leaders should contact the Union Plus AT&T representative, Collieth Clarke, at att@unionplus.org or call 1-800-472-2005 ext. 888. Union Plus looks forward to helping unions and their employees increase their savings through the AT&T service.

AT&T Boosts Network Coverage

Union members who switch to AT&T for their wireless coverage will ­ find that their network is faster, reports four studies.

RootMetrics, Consumer Reports, PC Mag and PCWorldwide/TechHive have concluded that AT&T’s 4G LTE network is the fastest network in the U.S. The studies reveal that AT&T is between four and six Mbps faster than Verizon and T-Mobile 4G networks, and up to triple the speed of Sprint. Currently, AT&T is in second place for coverage, but is expected to match Verizon’s by the end of 2014. By switching to AT&T, not only with union members be saving 15 percent for their phone bill, but they will also be switching to the fastest network in the U.S.
