Union One, a provider of voluntary income protection and member benefits for labor unions, is enhancing its platform with new programs designed to bolster financial stability and long-term workforce continuity for union families. The company, which has been delivering guaranteed acceptance income protection since 2006, now supports over 3,000,000 active union members and more than 1,000,000 retirees across the United States.
Union One’s platform was originally developed to provide voluntary income protection at scale in union environments, starting with railroad workers represented by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen (BLET). Since then, it has expanded nationally across major labor organizations, assisting more than 40,000 claimants and distributing over $600 million in tax-free income replacement benefits. The platform protects workers’ pay when illness or injury prevents them from working, helping skilled trades, transportation, and manufacturing employees maintain financial security and continue supporting their families amid ongoing labor shortages and early workforce attrition.

In 2026, Union One broadened its offerings with the launch of the Union One Housing Advantage Program, powered by the Union Mortgage Advantage Program (UMAP) Readiness Platform. Currently operating in five states, the program provides union members with mortgage readiness education, advocacy support, and access to lending partners that reduce traditional broker costs. Members participating in the program have often seen monthly mortgage savings exceeding the cost of union dues.
The company is also introducing a Tuition Assistance Program, which allows members to accrue education credits through monthly union dues. These credits can be applied to tuition expenses at over 400 participating colleges and universities, lowering household education costs by up to 25%.
Launch partners include the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, with additional national labor organizations expected to join.

“Workforce stability is about more than jobs,” said Andrew Haley, President of Union One. “It’s about protecting income, creating opportunities, and giving members the confidence to build long-term security for their families.”
Union One administers all programs without financial or administrative burden to participating unions, managing education, enrollment, compliance, premium administration, and claims advocacy. The company continues to expand its Member Valued Program platform to help unions strengthen engagement, retention, and workforce continuity while delivering meaningful benefits beyond the jobsite.
