AFSCME partnerships:

• Union Plus Vacation Tours has teamed up with Go Ahead Vacations to offer members discounted world-class travel opportunities

• Union Plus Auto Insurance Program from AIG, a world leader in insurance, is available to participating union members and their families.

• With the Union Plus Online Tax Preparation Service, union members and their families can use an online tax tool to prepare and file their taxes — at half the cost of similar services from H&R Block® and Quicken®.

People ask all the time, what does the union do for me? Here are just a few things the members and staff accomplished this past year:

• You got a 2% raise on July 1

• You got an additional day of paid leave

• You got a $54 refund for overpayments on your health care premiums

• You got an increase in your annual legal trust account to $1,400 of free legal assistance

• You got an increase in your dental health care coverage

• As an ASEA member, you got a big discount joining a health club

Even closer to home, what did the Chapter do for me?

• Letter to ASEA/AFSCME Local 52 Anchorage Chapter Membership

• The Scholarship Committee awarded over $7,000 in education scholarships to members and their kids for college.

• The Steward Committee helped resolve management and workplace inequities for over100 of you and your coworkers.

• The Good & Welfare Committee sent more than $2,200 worth of cards and flowers to members in grief and hospital.

• Over 1,500 of you and your families attended our annual picnic

YOU, and each member of this chapter, are THE UNION. It’s not the officers, it’s not the stewards, and it’s not the clerks or the nurses or the techs. THE UNION is all of us together. This union of state employees is only as strong and effective as we, the members, make it.
